I agree. We do our part to target kaffe, but we cannot be responsible for
it's stability.

We can't go up a number until the datastore issues are resolved, but
beyond that I don't think we need to wait for more features.

[freenet-dev] Oskar won't like this...

...but I think everyone else might.

Take a look at http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8890/ (or update your 
snapshot and look at http://localhost:8890/).

I have done some work to demonstrate how Templates can be used to give 
freenet a more pleasing appearance.  The relevant templates may be found 
in freenet/node/http/templates

The "box" template, which is used for the menu at the moment may also be 
used within Infolets reasonably easily.

We really need the Parser.flex. Arguably this is a GPL violation (not
having the preferred form for editing). Has anyone moved it? Does anyone
have any info on devrandom? He hasn't responded to my email.

I have not been able to retrieve any pieces of any splitfiles in a long,
long time. I am not sure if this is a bug, or if they simply are swamped
out by Frost, but it's something I want to investigate. What splitfiles
have you fetched successfully? Private email if they're illegal, use my

My main problem with freenet atm is that it crashes all the time. This
is apparently a problem with Kaffe. One could argue that it is a release
stopper, since freenet is supposed to work with free software, but I
have no idea how to fix it. And I don't think 0.5 is close, there's
plenty to do first (for example ARKs).

I strongly disagree, it is hard enough to get a release out without 
adding yet-another precondition (Kaffe working correctly) over which we 
have little or no control.  Freenet can be used with free JVMs, but I 
don't think we should punish ourselves for bugs in those JVMs, if 
someone really wants to use Freenet they can pester Kaffe to fix their 
bugs.

Do we really want to implement every idea we have thought of prior to 
0.5?  I don't think so.  My criteria for 0.5 release is fixing current 
bugs, I think all the features we need are already in-there (not to say 
that more can't be added before 0.5, but 0.5 shouldn't be delayed 
because of them).

I have never really understood what is so great about ARKs anyway - 
exactly what are the symptoms of the problem ARKs resolve?
