I think this would be a good idea; I'm not a developer yet, but I am interested in helping contribute. I believe open source and privacy are two of the most important things to contribute to, and being a student of computer science I feel like I would be able to help. I'm considering joining the Summer of Code, but the Freenet Project is still a daunting one for a newbie like me.
