Ah, but those standards are too bloated and unwieldy for the unique nature of our project! Sure they look attractive but that's because all the bloat is just hidden away in libraries. Naming the base package "Freenet" has cut out hundreds of megabytes of "com.gar.gar.gar.." bloat.. > If the Freenet project wants to attract other developers it is important that > we > adopt some standards.

I think we should adopt some orphans instead, then train them to be SLAVE developers! -- # tavin cole # # "The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, # a continual flight from wonder."
