Fetching a key is a CORE functionality, it is like the address bar in an internet browser! If the Freenet community is alive, it will happen very often that people paste each others Freenet URIs via IM, email, etc. It HAS to be easy to enter a Freenet URI. > ?Current Activity? : idem > > #Messages : > > I agree we need to inform user when something is wrong.

Why showing informations about the current activity > of the node ? Because we need the users to know very well that connections to strangers are DANGEROUS and should be avoided. If the friend connections page is separate, it helps having a clear overview over your friends list. Further, strangers are not interesting, so they should not bloat your friends page, especially if we consider that there will be more "social functions" on the friends page in the future. > #Internet Connection : > > ???

I have already filed a bug for getting rid of the internet connection page, I really think it is bare legacy and should be removed. > or display a message like 'This feature is not yet available.

"Clear all" options would be very useful, yes. Maybe with checkboxes and some javascript to check them all. > Insert as : > * CHK : explain what it is > * SSK/USK : idem > * KSK : idem + ask for the name Explanation would be a VERY good idea, consider this: https://bugs.freenetproject.org/view.php?id=3030 > > Don't show the opennet ref : we don't need it, do we ? If you want to become a seednode you need to submit it to the development team so it gets added manually in the seednodes.fref - Can't we write a "crawler" mode for fred so it can automatically harvest seednodes on opennet? Many people will have enabled seednode mode but not submitted their reference because they do not know that they have to do it: On most other p2p networks, you don't have to. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
