With the impending (cough) 0.6 version, and the
consequent extra news (hopefully some /.) etc, we will probably gain a huge
amount of new users. This userbase (together with the possible financial
benefit; hopefully enough to get toad going for another month or two) will need
some user-friendlyness.
Which, frankly, ain't really there yet in some
respects. I have recently set up a new node again, and (again) the indexsites on
the webinterface were gone. And no, it's not because it's new; I (and many
others) have experienced the same with
well-established nodes. For the 100th time: DBRs, as currently
implemented, suck for this kind of thing. And we can't wait for the TUKs; that's
a project for the long-term.
Thus...pls, BEFORE there is version 0.6 and a whole
new bunch of newbies trying Freenet out, make a edition-based indexpage on the
webinterface! Yeah, I *know* all the contra's: it's not going to be updated
enough, etc. Well, it can be updated with every new version and so what if it's
4 month old untill the next versionnumber? Most sites will still work, and it
certainly beats having NOTHING. And I doubt many newbies are going to ask for
keys on IIP.
See it as a short term-solution, ok? Untill you
have a system that auto-looks-up the versionnumbers of the edition, or the TUKs
are ready or sort.
But goddamn, we *must* have something more reliable
then the current DBRs (as indexpages), that's for sure. Doing this before a new
major numberversion gets out would be a tactical sound
decision.
