How do you see Frost going in the medium term? I think we need some convergence of Frost into Fproxy. For various reasons (mostly the fact that KSK-based boards are horribly floodable), I don't think we necessarily want a Frost-web-interface in the main freenet package yet... and we certainly would have second thoughts about packaging a GUI Swing client with Freenet. However, I think the following might be worth considering: * Signed, user-verifiable identities within Frost (but still based on boards, of course). * Automatic insertion of summary files with all files inserted by a given identity to a given board, or adopted by that identity (a checkbox when downloading?). Summary file contains metadata etc for each file, just as a message post would, but is cumulative. Is inserted at SSK@<pubkey of identity>/<board name>/<serial number> or some such standard place, with a well-known format. * An fproxy filter to recognize these keys and turn them into a pretty HTML interface. Frost should have a link to them.
Thus inserts lead to BOTH Frost AND Fproxy being able to get to new content. I'm not sure whether we want to directly support KSK-based boards on Fproxy, but one possibility would be to add extra sections to the summary files listing other identities that insert useful stuff, creating a web of trust... what do you think about all this? -- Matthew Toseland [EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] Full time freenet hacker. http://freenetproject.org/ Freenet Distribution Node (temporary) at http://amphibian.dyndns.org:8889/Yh5ycNSsnc4/ ICTHUS.
