A fproxy theme? I don't think we have the time for implementing anything besides new themes before 0.8 we need to fix too many issues. I also haven't heard anything about a new Freetalk UI? :) -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[freenet-dev] Development of Free Net Project
Hi, I would like to take part in the development of Free Net Project as my contribution to Google Summer of Code. I am especially interested in Data Bases, Algorithms and AI. I think that it would be great to try to create new, 'intelligent' search engine. I can program in Java/C++/C/Haskell/Assembler(IA-32). Best wishes, Karol Pysniak.

The initial goal is to get a framework started that sets some good precedents for a nice clean UI design that starts with the user's needs and works backwards, rather than the other way around (which is more-or-less how FProxy came about).

Ian Clarke skrev: > Feedback is welcome of course. I think it's a very good starting point :). Random thoughts: - Make a security level icon (like a wireless signal tray applet) showing your security status based on, for example, your darknet-opennet peer ratio. - Implement notifications like "freesite updated" in a sidebar or something. IMHO quite important. - Make some of the bookmarks available at the front page in one way or another. Chances are that the user wants to go straight to one of them. especially the indexes. - Show the version/build numbers in the status drop-down. Quite important for any kind of troubleshooting. - When Freenet is updating itself, show it in the status bar instead of a traditional notification. - Make the "f" in the "freenet" above the search box uppercase. Like the news header. - Zero3

One question though : will the new UI handle the download/upload list, and if not, why? Except for that, I think it's nice, clean, and silk :) Oh, and will the security levels be taken into account, or not? (it would take one line in the status dropdown, and I think it's important for a software like Freenet)
