Sorry if my post was aggressive, I just wanted to contribute a bit to Freenet and I believe that even doing small things can improve the overall software. > This is dirty business.

Thanks :), I'll setup a github repository for the theme and I'll communicate on it (is there any official way to communicate to the team ? (by irc ?)) . This theme is an example and can be completely rewritten if you think that it's not suited to the application. On this part, I was not specifically thinking of the Freenet theme (because of course, there is no restrictions there) but more on what Freesites could use on their side. (especially background gradient and animations). > The installer does embed some official plugins: currently JSTUN, UPnP, > Library, KeyUtils, and ThawIndexBrowser. [0] Would you like to propose > more to include? Embedding more will make the installer larger. I was thinking of Freemail, WOT and the FlogHelper plugin. Embedding is not really necessary but just adding a popup to fetch them (or not) from pre-defined USKs on the first start could avoid the user to search inside Freenet how to configure it. By the way, the FlogHelper plug-in is very nice and convenient to use. > Agreed. There's been work on Curator for GSoC 2013, but it needs more work and review. [1] Didn't know that there were some work on it ! I'll have a look at the repo. And sorry again if you interpreted my post aggressively, I just want to help a bit as I can because I really like Freenet. All the team kept the faith to work on it after all these years so congrats guys :). _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [email protected] https://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
