* A list of nodes with have granted FProxy access to dodo.freenetproject.org (212.13.198.248) that will reliably be running the prod build
* A version of the Windows installer that supports both Prod and Devl
modes which the user can choose between on installation (ideally with
a nice check box on the installation wizard, not one of those ugly
modal dialog boxes which we need to get rid of). This should then
download either:
http://freenetproject.org/deploy/freenet-prod-latest.jar
or:
http://freenetproject.org/deploy/freenet-devl-latest.jarAnd:
http://freenetproject.org/deploy/seednodes-prod.txt
or:
http://freenetproject.org/deploy/seednodes-devl.txt* The update.sh script should be adjusted accordingly too
* The stable branch should be reverted to build 692
* The Freenet website should be updated to the above structure (initially using symlinks)
Eventually I would like the fredisdead movement to turn into a coherent group that focuses on usability while the core developers focus on pushing ahead with the bleeding edge stuff. If there is a person or people that are willing to take responsibility for this, let me know who you are and I will grant you the permissions you will need on SF and dodo.
Lastly, tomorrow I leave the US for Ireland, meaning that I will be offline for at least 24 hours and will be on a modem until about the 20th - so please lets try to get the ball rolling today while I still have broadband.

I guess this is mainly directed at Ian. The Production Network appears to be running well on 692 and I would like to see freenetproject.org endorse this move and make it more "official" - hosting the proper software etc for those who want to use it. The update script would, I guess, also need to be modified so that when there is a forced upgrade, people get the right thing (and don't end up on the Development Network).
It probably wouldn't hurt if the Development Network moved onto a fresh network also - you never know, more recent builds/technologies may work far better without the oversized bundle of outdated legacy software clogging up the network like black holes. Anyway, thats for the developers to decide.
The news article on the front page of freenetproject.org is also a little misleading - no, there has not been a fork, but the network is dividing into a usable and stable single-build network, and a development network.
Basically, the nice simple fast 692 build running on the Production Network will give a much better impression to new users. It allows quick insertion and quick retrieval. In turn, I would imagine this will increase support for the project. Then, if people want to play with the Development Network, they can do so - knowing that the Production Network will always be there for them.
