I went to the CASP site and realized I didn't have any way of seeing how the foldit community was doing. What group are the submission under? How are things going?
Just curious.

Hey telesphore4,
The CASP experiment runs every 2 years.
CASP 8 was during the summer of 2008 (right as Foldit started) and yes, we had Foldit submissions under the DBAKER group. They were mostly in the refinement category; you can see the CASP 8 results here:

So the next CASP experiment, CASP 9, will start in May 2010 (mark your calendars!!!) and run until August 2010.
The current mini-CASP puzzles that we are posting are for you (and us) to practice for CASP 9.
Here is more info about mini-CASP: http://fold.it/portal/node/986632
So how are the foldit scores in comparison to the released protein scores ?
If we're the DBAKER submission ... or a part of it ... then congrats.
Now the question is how much of that score (out of the 64 submissions) did the Foldit community make significant contributions to?
