Hello Freenet, I was wondering if there is till appetite for more gsoc ideas. I'm a student and I did a gsoc last year with Tor on Stegotorus which is a pluggable transport (you call it transport plugin here) which support chopping in small packets and different steg module including http (all what was desired on the Freenet transport plugins page):
https://github.com/zackw/stegotorus I was thinking of doing another GSoC this year with Freenet mainly to get my hands wet and delve into the code. I still my "on-demand mirroring" idea but as it is quite unpopular here, I thought I can work on the transport issues and specifically on TCP. Because I think if a country like Iran decides to block freenet, I think they just go flat and block UDP (they do that with https for fighting tor for short period of time). Also not of so much of surprise Stegotorus is working with TCP sockets. I am aware here, we have mentor shortage crisis, but you can confirm with my mentor last year (zackw) that I worked quite independently (he wasn't available on irc and preferred email only communication and sometimes was answering my emails with two weeks delay). I thought Chetan who is already working on the transports can assume the mentorship possibly. Please let me if this arrangement is plausible and worthy of pursuing a proposal or you think it is rejection on arrival situation. Cheers, Vmon _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [email protected] https://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
