I think this sounds like a great idea. We need to get started on some
applications that run on top of Freenet. There are some inherent security
problems with your proposal, I think, mainly because of the lack of SVKs
currently. However, I think the best way to code an application is to just
do it now with the existing technology and then upgrade later instead of
waiting for us to figure everything out. So I think that you should
definitely do it.

As far as putting it in the distribution, I don't think this is the kind
of thing that should go in the distribution. I don't know how anyone else
feels about it, though. I think it would be good to have a core Freenet
package and then a Freenet application package, like they do with
gnome-core and gnome-apps. The first package would have everything you
need to run a node. The second would have all of the nifty applications
that run on top of Freenet. But anyway, that's just an idea I had.
