I don't understand. What is unclear about the front page? https://www.gnunet.org/ It also leads you to the about page https://www.gnunet.org/en/about.html which eventually leads you to the docs. (And yes, that is where it gets a bit hairy) > How? Too complex, why do we need more networking? I think you have a point here that there could be a written justification on the complexity of the components (such as TNG) on the webpage. There is plenty in the docs, but again, could be improved. > Who?
