Sure, but I strongly recommend you not uninstall ZoneAlarm on a windows
box. Unless you just install linux instead. :)

The general concept is similar to freenet 0.5, it even uses FEC and borrows CHKs
from it. It's in C++ and is a "from scratch" project with its own routing etc,
which sounds to me like it might use a DHT, so a better comparison might be
Entropy. It appears to still be alpha (front page : "I really believe this
software will work, and I intend to finish it one day.") There are a few other
oddities like using HTTP transports instead of just TCP.

[freenet-support] New Wiki is online

2005-11-23 Thread Guido Winkelmann
Hi,

As many of you might have noticed, the Freenet wiki had been offline for 
several weeks now. I turns out that the reason behind this was a site-wide 
database upgrade from mysql 3 to mysql 4 at Sourceforge, which broke many 
things.

The bad news is that, apparently, there is no way to get at the data from the 
old wiki again. It's lost.

The good news is that nextgens has set up a new (empty wiki), this time 
independent from sourceforge. The new wiki can be found at 
http://wiki.freenetproject.org and uses the same software (Wakka)
that the old one used.

While we're on the subject, I think the choice of Wiki software needs to be 
reevaluated, and soon. In my opinion, the software has too many small and 
annoying bugs and shortcomings. Considering how little I've actually used it 
the first time around (it wasn't around for very long, after all), I've been 
confronted with cryptic error messages and unpredictable and illogical 
behavior far too often. Also, I think that the markup this wiki uses is among 
the least logical and useful I've seen yet.

I'd like to ask everyone who reads me to try out the new wiki (in the sandbox) 
and post their opinions here, maybe accompanied with suggestions for 
alternatives.

My personal suggestions for alternatives are:

- MoinMoin
This is a simple and very reliable wiki engine that is used by quite a number 
of people, among them freedesktop.org. It is highly customizable and its 
popularity makes it likely that newcomers will already be familiar with its 
markup.
It doesn't use a db but instead stores its data in flat-files, which the 
freenet devs frown upon.

- MediaWiki
This is the wiki that runs wikipedia.org. It uses mysql as the backend. 
Everybody who has ever used Wikipedia will know his or her way around this 
one.

Guido
