That is why we make releases, people who want to try out Freenet can use the releases, while we can be free to work on it (and read my lips, this project will die if we are forced to stop improving the protocol because we managed to produce and release a barely working alpha version).
If you want my guess at a release schedule, I would say that around the end of June should be a good time for 0.3. By then we should have any problems with the encryption smoother out, and hopefully any changes necessary for keytypes, fallback messages, etc. After that (I hope) we will be able to keep from changing the protocol until RSA.
