I'd like to talk to them. I am told that there is much going on on the
Frost boards, and we have seen some new apps e.g. pm4pigs, but people
seem to avoid talking directly to us for some reason.. probably this
would be helped by working freemail integrated into the lists, some sort
of CVS replacement that works over freenet, etc.
If there was a freemail and CVS over Freenet that would be good. Anonymous email (freemail) might be a killer application, like hushmail but even better security.
As for Frost not being included because of 'political' reasons, umm...ok.
To the general users: It should be easy enough to 'route around' this kind of crapola by having someone just make a package of Freenet applications that many people would probably use (like an XAMPP package but instead of PHP / MYSQL its Freenet stuff). Who ever is good with installers, this is your calling <wink>. The 'someone' to do this could be me since the applications generally do not seem to be being updated with much frequency on Freenet if someone wants to help with the installer and making sure everything compiles correctly.
