Are any of you contributing to the setiquest.org project ?

AFAIK no.
It's rather strange that this new effort attempted in no connection with existing and well developed SETI@home project.
At least they could use existing SETI@home's code for analyse their data (from another telescope so it would be immediately benefical).

AFAIK Seti@Home and Seti Institute collaborate to a certain extent.

If I understood it correctly SetiQuest does real-time search - whereas Seti@Home does deep search on stored data.

Unfortunately SetiQuest doesn't explain on their website how this real-time search will work. I would really be interested ..

I saw a something on the Discovery Channel a while back about the Allen Telescope Array that indicated that the project had it's own bank of high speed processors to analize the data in real time and sending the data offsite for processing would not be done.

This project SetiQuest.Org may be related to another project named PlanetQuest.Org.

As far as I can tell the only thing PlanetQuest has done in the last 5 years is to take donations.  No progress on their PlanetQuest Collaboratory software has been announced and the web site is unchanged in the last 5 years.
