Because setting up a nonprofit is a lot of work, and it's political enough that it'd need its own nonprofit, the standard ones might not be appropriate. And because its goals are broadly similar ideologically even if its technical goals are, in the short term, somewhat divergent. And a lot of the technology is similar too, although of course he's done everything in New And Wonderful Ways. Long term, Freenet needs pub/sub (for chat e.g.), and a good microblogging UI (well duh), and Tahrir needs routing and file storage (where are you gonna put your suppressed pictures/phone footage?). Hence bringing it under the FPI organisational umbrella may make sense. Having said that, I don't think it would be appropriate to call Tahrir Freenet 2.0, at least not at present. :) > > Florent > > On Thu, Feb 16, 2012 at 12:32:14PM -0600, Ian Clarke wrote: > > I'm not sure whether people would object to this, but I would quite like to > > mentor a student to work on Tahrir under the umbrella of the Freenet > > project. > > > > Thoughts?
