Looking at the new version, it feels like it's targetted to an academic who is interested in the theory of anonymous networks. IMHO, it should be targeted at a potential new Freenet user. What they want to know is what they can do with it. The first sentence is a great introduction; it says that Freenet does something to let them communicate anonymously and without censorship. At that point, I think the obvious question for a potential user isn't "How does it manage that?" but "What sorts of communication?" In the current version, a new user has to get to the fourth paragraph before they get any hint about what they can do with it, rather than how it works. Evan Daniel
