Cleanup is good yes. If you want to make more patches that'd be awesome. If you want to maintain a janitor tree like happens in the kernel that'd be even better. > > Getting a spec for the Freenet protocol and routing algorithms would be > fantastic as well, and allow for other implementations, not to mention > concept-level review and improvement. The latter is important. The former is not: Multiple, compatible but slightly different implementations, with different levels of maintenance, is going to be very bad while we are still evolving the distributed algorithms. HOWEVER, documenting everything is good. Whether it is within the scope of GSoC is another question. > > On 02/16/2012 01:21 PM, Zlatin Balevsky wrote: > > I'm not up to speed with specifics of the current Freenet codebase but > > I'd enjoy mentoring for general java/jvm development best practices. > > More so, I'd hate to see Freenet miss out on fresh talent. > > > > On Thu, Feb 16, 2012 at 1:12 PM, Florent Daigniere > > <nextg...@freenetproject.org <mailto:nextg...@freenetproject.org>> wrote: > > > > Hi! > > > > Should Freenet take part to Google Summer of Code 2012? > > > > Is anyone motivated to mentor candidates? > > > > I'd like to mentor but probably won't do it if I'm the only one. > > > > Florent I doubt I have time to admin let alone mentor.
