They should be the same.

It sure might be good if every freesite author published an index at [EMAIL PROTECTED]//index.db but it should definitely not be reqired of them. Any given index should be able to produce 'links' to any SSK|KSK|CHK|ARK inside freenet. This enables people to act as 'index publishers' and each and every user could choose whose indexes to 'search in'/'merge into their own local index' and trust, much like todays index pages.... /N _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
