I think it might be more productive if you chose one or more simple
tasks and tried to achieve them, then tried more complex stuff etc etc.
By all means read the published papers, but most of the other
documentation is outdated.

I have noticed that anyone who does not get their hands dirty in the
early stages of deciding to help (even if it is with simple tasks) never
seem to get more involved.  

People don't want to do any coding until they understand what is going
on, but the only way to find out what is going on is to code!  Choose a
problem, and try to fix it - that is the best way to learn about
the Freenet codebase.

To help, I have created a new Wiki page designed to provide a forum
where people can share information about Freenet Internals - find it at:
