[freenet-devl] An eXtensible Freenet Message Board System

[Jeffrey Borden]

I have implemented a Freenet Message Board System for a school project.   The system uses XML files and transactions to allow users to maintain message boards similar to Usenet.   Users retrieve an XML file containing a message board and use the XFMB client to view messages.   Users may post new messages or reply to existing messages using the client.  The client will then send an encrypted message via anonymous email to a user acting as a board maintainer.   The board maintainer will run the XFMB server to retrieve update messages and update the version of the message board contained on Freenet.   A full description of  the project can be found at: http://vorlon.cwru.edu/~jnb2/XFMBpresentation.html     Although most of the features have been implemented, the code is really not in a state ready to be released at this time.  I will probably have some time next week to finish implementing everything get it into a state to release a beta.   The source for what I have now can be found at: http://vorlon.cwru.edu/~jnb2/XFMB/XFMBsource.zip   You will need all of the packages contained in http://vorlon.cwru.edu/~jnb2/XFMB/ to run the demo.
