The World Community Grid team will update the operating systems of their servers on October 11 at 14:00 UTC. The server will be down for about 4 hours. That means users can't download or upload tasks or access the website.
But no need to panic! It may happen that we get a new superblock during that time. If so it's likely that World Community Grid won't be included. This is also no reason to panic.
Just be aware and keep on Crunching =)
