However we cannot rewrite it in anything right now. Raise $30K and I'll rewrite it in C++, otherwise you're on your own - we cannot raise enough money to pay a full time developer in order to get it rewritten in a reasonable time, if freenet development apart from the port is totally stalled for all that period. > > regards.
