wouldn't that imply a centralized freegle server uploading results? or would people upload their own lists all the time? When I was creating my FreeSearch software I considered this possibility, but I dismissed it because you can't assume people will have their software on all the time. Also as lists get huge it makes no sense to keep uploading small incremental changes. You would overload freenet with more and more lists, and less content. As the lists would be accessed more often (since people need them), they would be favored over any real content. The content would then get dropped from Freenet, and we'd have a freenet of search lists only. My system of getting lists via a separate protocol is much cleaner, and makes more sense for the dynamic nature of list content. BTW, I'd like to add import support for Freegle in my software, is there a link to the source anywhere? owen _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl >From devl-admin at freenetproject.org Mon Apr 9 12:10:01 2001
