That’s all you need for most tasks. Security knowledge is only needed in
security sensitive parts

Definitely not!

You could try improving some existing extension to get a feel how freenet
works.

Adding multi-site support to Freereader might be a good start. Or maybe first
starting with adding an option to set the site title.

Or just look for a GSoC task which interests you most and see if you can find
a very small starting project for that.

A man in the streets faces a knife.
Two policemen are there it once. They raise a sign:

    “Illegal Scene! Noone may watch this!”

The man gets robbed and stabbed and bleeds to death.
The police had to hold the sign.

…Welcome to Europe, citizen. Censorship is beautiful.
