I forgot to say, this method will also make your site visible as
'freenet:KSK@freeweb/sitename//' or simply 'freeweb/sitename//' for clients
that allow abbreviations.
So in the example given, the site could also be accessed as
'freeweb/pot-mart//'.
This standard allows all FreeWeb sites to be visible via normal freenet
KSKs, and will be implemented automatically in FreeWeb.
Cheers
David
