That is certainly possible, but unlikely, since there are probably about 10 working Freesites in Freenet right now, and many more users of Frost, each of which is probably running their own node. There is probably a small number of nodes right now, but this is more likely to worsen functionality, not make it better. The core problem is really that of obtaining enough working seednodes, in addition to the datastore bug and some IBM JVM issues. > Well, Mr. Founder and Coordinator, I guess I can't stop you from > lying to the users by pretending 0.4 is polished already. How many > of them will refuse to install the next supposedly stable release? MJR, sometimes you really come across as an immature script-kiddie who thinks it is cool to be abrasive. When I read insulting crap like that it only reinforces that opinion. What part of "we would obviously document them as known bugs with the release" constitutes "lying to the users"? > Yeah, it's amazing how smart people can ignore that intractable > anonymous flooding problem and design vulnerable systems. Yeah, it is amazing how my estimation of someone can drop so much with just one email. If you see problems with software like Frost why don't you help them fix it rather than just heckling from the peanut gallery. At least Jan-Thomas has got off his arse and is actually trying to do something useful.
