I like this idea as it force me to delve into chetan's code. I had a little
peek into the last summer commits and the code. So I need to inherit
my new transport from PacketTransportPlugin and implement
startPlugin/stopPlugin/resumePlugin/pausePlugin and toPluginAddress,
isn't that correct?

Unlike StreamTransportPlugin that has more function than its parent
(connect and listen) PacketTransportPlugin seems to be identical. Maybe
It is for consistency and readability.

1) Is there any other sample HelloWorld packet transport plugin that is
implemented?

2) If I implement a plugin how can I test it? I should make a darknet
of two nodes of mine? then I need to run two instance of freenet on my
computer on different ports. Is that possible?

If I don't use Tor my IP will be easily discoverable on IRC. oftc.net
and srh.org are easily allow me to connect to IRC without tor, freenet only
allows one hidden server to connect to it and (I guess)  because of that,
it is always busy and I can't connect to freenode.net most of the time.

 Can I talk to devs (Toad and Chetan at least) using Sone or any other
 freenet service (so I can keep my IP to myself)?

If it is too much of hassle I can get a public VPS and run my IRC client
on it to protect my IP.

That seems to be a good proposal plan. Which stream transport is more
desirable something like HTTP or something that encrypt everything so
the traffic doesn't look like anything special?

Once I get familiar with Chetan's design and the related core code, I
should be able to work more independently. I hope freenet get
selected. Does freenet, has a pre-defined format for GSoC proposals?

Thanks for your helps,
Vmon
