I've already made a project on sourceforge.net for this, which is named nfreenetd for its short (Unix) name and "Alternate Freenet Node Daemon" for its long name. It would be quite good that we worked together. Three different Freenet node implementations would be a good thing; having one or two implementations doesn't give people enough choices. On the other hand, it is good to have a few developers working on the same thing. We should get started right away, but we should aim for implementing 0.3 instead of 0.2; Freenet will be released as version 0.3 before the first stable version of nfreenetd is released. > Travis Bemann <bemann at bemann.sourceforge.net> writes: > > > I'm going to write another Freenet node implementation.
