I have always thought that the whole NGR thing was misguided. Freenet works because of keyspace specialization. NGR trashes keyspace specialization in favor of "speed", which reduces Freenet from an medium speed expressway to a grid of city-streets with traffic-lights and congestion. You might be able to get across town faster by taking the side streets -- until everyone else starts taking the side streets also and your route becomes a parking-lot from the cross-traffic.
IMHO, Toad's time would be better spent (post 0.5.3 of course) on MUXing and other minor optimizations that will benefit the project more for 0.6. In the meantime, other dev's can work on hammering out the bugs in NGR (0.7 anyone? :-p) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ian Clarke" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Discussion of development issues" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, November 30, 2003 7:18 PM Subject: Re: [freenet-dev] stable net kicking ass > Zlatin Balevsky wrote: > > I still think its a good idea to invest some toadtime into polishing it > > before 0.5.3, but so far its kicking ass. > > That is good news, and yes - I suspect there are a few things that need > to be tidied up (for example, didn't someone mention that acquisition of > new refs was borked?). > > Ideal scenario is to get 0.5.3 working nicely (perhaps releasing > 0.5.3rc1 in a week), release it, get $$$, and then start figuring out > what is wrong with NGR using a careful scientific process rather than > the somewhat haphazard approach we have been taking. > > Ian. > _______________________________________________ > Devl mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl > > _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
