Hi everyone,
After a longer public beta phase we decided that it's about time to migrate albert's web interface to Drupal proper. We're aware that some features we intend to provide for production (on einstein later on) aren't yet fully implemented and we also expect that there will be a few yet unknown bugs. However, albert is our test project after all, so let's get serious about it. The more people are using the new interface, the better we can prepare it for production use. So thanks in advance for your patience and feedback!
We're going to prepare this step over the coming days and will start without further notice.
For you this means that albert might soon be down for maintenance and data migration. The migration, once started, shouldn't take longer than a few days. Should we encounter significant issues or show stoppers we'll have back-out plans at hand and revert to the standard interface again.
See you on the other side...
Cheers,
Oliver

I've been wondering the same thing, and I'm sure others have. However it is good to remember that:
"Most of the time Albert@Home will have no work to run at all, and when it has, the applications are experimental, might be unstable, unreliable and may even damage your computer. Validation might be unreliable and we may cancel workunits without prior notice." (from the home page of Albert).
This is especially true since Albert is generally only used by Einstein@home to test beta server code. Beta application code is usually tested on Einstein@home. There was a recent post by Bernd (responding to why such testing was not done at Albert) which I include below. It's very informative.
Cheers to all,
