The new website gets closer, I have now converted Tom Longson (aka Nym)'s website draft to Twiki, you can check it out here:
http://freenetproject.org/index2.php This will redirect you to the appropriate translation for you, if available. The French translation is complete, Dutch has been started but isn't finished, someone has volunteered for the Chinese translation but hasn't started yet, ditto for the German translation, and the Hungarian translation has been started but not finished yet. I have converted many of the relevant pages from the old site, but certainly not everything, the stuff in the old Wiki still needs to be moved over (unfortunately the syntax for TWiki is different to PHPWiki, for example [this] is a link in PHPWiki, but [[this]] is a link in TWiki. Janie Mehew is also working on a different skin for the site, I plan to make both skins available, and users can select whichever they prefer (perhaps we can vote to decide whose gets to be the default). For those of you that were bitching about how dumb Wiki's are to have their own silly markup language, you will be happy to hear that TWiki supports HTML too. It also has great version control. You will need to grab a username before you can edit any of the public pages, and you will need to ask me to give you permission to edit any of the prominent pages (ie. all of them right now). One concern I had was the overhead involved in rendering a Wiki page, since TWiki seems to do a lot of permissions checking and stuff, it might lead to trouble if we get linked off a popular news site (which will probably happen on the release of 0.5). I have spoken to the Sourceforge guys and they are looking into this, and will hopefully install modperl to alleviate the problem. Either way, I am thinking about creating a plain html high-bandwidth page which will give people the basic information (ie. brief intro, download link), that we can quickly swap-in if we experience problems.
