please see:
Please note: This project does require that users install VBox (similar to LHC).
What is the goal of the project? And does it have a cool screensaver? ;)
in short:
I have done an interview with the project admin 2 months ago, you can listen to that once available
Until then you can find info here or on their website

I assume they'll kick into high gear if/once added to the whitelist ?
A few things I want to add about Sourcefinder:
The main sourcefinding application we've been using so far is Duchamp, but I'm currently working on deploying a new sourcefinder called SoFiA. Once SoFiA is deployed, we'll be running all of the data we ran through duchamp through SoFiA as well, so there should be a fair amount of work for a few months.
At some point in the fairly near future we should also have some real data from askap that we'll be processing with both Duchamp and SoFiA.
