Thanks for putting up the thread BinaryMage. Might wanna add the links from the Daily Numbers thread to your OP to keep it all in one place.
As far as information on start dates:

At this time we are not prepared to give you a date for the start of GPU for HCC but we can tell you this:
1. At this time, the plan is to start Beta testing before the end of January, 2012. This may change as conditions arise.
2. Because of the large variety of processors, we will probably have a longer than average Beta test.

Looks like it's still some time away from full implementation for end users. Anyone willing to participate in the BETA, will need to remember to opt-in for it on the WCG website.
Now.. the scoring system.. that's going to be interesting. According to WCG the current points are based on a
1 GigaFLOP machine, running full time, producing 100 units of credit in 1 day (~14Boinc points)
That would certainly entail a massive PPD difference over anything a CPU can produce (GPU vs CPU GFlops). And I would not imagine they'll want to go the route of F@H and start differentiating points
A lot of informations still to come, but looks very promising.
