Right. We should net the inserter decide if he wants to give the key at the beginning of the insert or at the end. Anyway, he should tell that the insert is in progress so requesters would know that it is worth waiting. >> Such a tool could address that problem : users who type something in the >> appropriate searchbox will actually get a list of what is available.

Well if the WoT does his job correctly, we could filter results to only display files that belong to identities that are actually here. >>> a) Make everything important part of fproxy.
