I thought it had been agreed that there should be a separate metadata space which holds incriminating metadata, for the purpose of searching Freenet without knowing what's on any particular node. I don't yet have a searching solution, but here's an implementation of a metadata store for the searching to operate on. > > I also have a really neat structured query parser that returns a list of > > And what in the world is this good for? I'm assuming this is in the client? I don't have an application for this at the moment, but I figure somebody might want to use it or cannabalize some of it because it's pretty neat. Structured searches would be nice, where you could search for something based on a field in the metadata. But then, of course, we need a searching methodology to use that. > > data insertion and retrieval, and write a file server node to keep > > information in Freenet. > > Why? What is a "file server node"? Something which periodically requests specified items from Freenet and, if it can't find them, inserts them, so as to always keep them around. I'm not sure how useful this will be in practice, but people keep asking about it and if I implement it, they will stop asking. > > The first is so that we can get ContentType usable again.

Yes, I'm going to work on the client classes so that they process trailing field metadata so that the www interfaces can add ContentType trivially. _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
