^^ That is one more reason for the suggestion of a separate UI that I made on freenet.uservoice.com. And I feel that I have to restate what I said there to prefer XUL for such a client as for the following reasons: 1.) widely used already (stable language, although not community driven) 2.) easy to learn (it's just some XML paired with ECMA-Script - even a lazy JEE/web developer like me was able to master that) 3.) common look and feel intregrated (most of the users already use some other XUL based apps like Firefox, Thunderbird, aso.) 4.) easy to extend (regarding to plugins, extensions, themes, aso.) 5.) runs on nearly every platform > There are also some > German translation updates by an anonymous contributor, and some work on the > README and the website. > > Apart from the above, Zero3 has started to commit his new windows installer. > saces has continued to work on his wxFCP project, which hopefully will result > in a custom browser for Freenet, which we may or may not use when it is > finished, and robert has committed a spec file for generating RPMs for > Freenet. ^^ RPM? I would rather need DEB or S5R4 datastreams. JRPM over at sourceforge is a straight forward library for creating/parsing RPMs regardless of the platform it runs on. The software I'm developing on at work makes extensive use of the JRPM library and it is used in many production systems so it can be considered as stable. Also it supports noarch packages. I was already about to start working on something similar for Solaris PKG, as the very basics (CPIO streams) is the same in both the RPM and S5R4 package system. Only the stuff around that differs a lot but even on windows one can unpack a datastream PKG with the standalone windows builds of GNU dd and cpio. So there's not much magic. I don't like projects that deliver just one package format (and RPM is really not my favorite one). When you are planning to release freenet in package formats please do it for all or for none. But I would suspect that creating a good MSI would be the hardest task anyway.
