I will comment on it here: * You CAN safely email to the list. All you have to do is use a mixmaster chain. Admittedly they're looking a bit shaky recently - two at least have probably been compromized. * There are a number of ways of implementing searching. The main ones are to establish a channel to a central server and ask it, or for a central server to post an index which you can then selectively download and search within. Either way there can be very many providers. Providing a *fully* decentralized search function which is resistant to all likely attacks while still maintaining reasonable anonymity would be very difficult. * The main required feature for 0.7 is not searching. It is good performance, out of the box, IMHO. * "Collections" is pretty meaningless. We already download very many blocks in parallel when fetching a splitfile. We already download many files from the same site in parallel, although we do not prefetch. * There are ways to do updatable sites (TUKs). Most things are possible with working routing. However this may not go into 0.7.0. * TFE etc *are* prefetched on startup already. Links from them are not prefetched at present unless the browser does it (which is dangerous as it will go over __CHECKED links). * Channels are being implemented, however I don't see clearly how they connect to prefetching indexes... any explanation? * Nodes MUST NOT be able to tell between freesite blocks and filesharing blocks. However IMHO freesite blocks will be sufficiently popular that this will not be a big problem, given working routing. We have argued about priorities before; I am strongly opposed to them. * Real time chat and IM will not use stored blocks, it will be using an alternative layer in parallel to fetch/retrieve. I have recently been working on this. -- Matthew J Toseland - toad at amphibian.dyndns.org Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
