There is the Transient options (not currenly implemented) which tells the node to forget about you when you're gone. Also, we've talked about making nodes in the datastore have a reliability rating. Letting them rate themselves and have it influence our rating is interesting. We could use the node's self-ranking as the initial value for our own node's internal reliability ranking. > And when (if ever) will a UDP version of Freenet be up for consideration? That will probably be a sort of tangential side project as will all other implementations of Freenet over other protocols since it doesn't require any change to the core protocol or code, just a model to talk over a different transport mechanism. I suppose it could be started at any time by interested parties. I don't personally have interest in it until we work out larger issues of searching, metadata, updatable data, node-to-node-encryption, etc.. I'd also like to see freenet over SSL. _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
