Hello, I'm a Computer Science Engineering student at Federico Santa Mar?a Technical University, Chile. As the title of this email suggests, I would like to apply to Freenet for the Google summer of Code. I've read the Ideas Page for this year and I'm interested in implementing "Good FCP libraries in more languages". This is mainly because I'm not a good Java programmer and also because I believe a good FCP implementation may hopefuly encourage the development of new tools that interact to Freenet by developers that prefer other languages rather than Java. My main suggestion is to fully improve/rewrite the Perl FCP Module [1], given that it hasn't been updated in almost two years, there are few methods implemented and I personally think that the code is pretty messy. You can see my Perl work in [2]. I'm also willing to implemente a pure C (not C++) FCP library in case you don't like the former idea.
Having said that, may I ask, is this idea suitable for Freenet developer community? what are your thoughts on this? Thank you in advance. References: [1] http://search.cpan.org/~mlehmann/AnyEvent-FCP-0.3/FCP.pm [2] http://search.cpan.org/~ilv/ Best regards. -- Israel Leiva
