djampa, I know you're feeling frustrated and impatient with FreeWeb, and
freenet as a whole.
But please know that sarcasm is not going to make things happen faster.

At best, developers on the freenet project are paid less than a
burger-flipper or supermarket trolley-pusher, and even then, they only get
paid during summer breaks.

At worst, developers work long hours for nothing, even spending thousands of
dollars of their own money to make sure their systems are adequate for
software development and testing.

There wouldn't be anyone working on Freenet for the money.
People work on this project to pursue a vision of a truly free internet, to
provide asylum for those whose interests and opinions may attract hostility
on the mainstream internet.

So as you can see, dumping your negative vibes will not always go down well
amongst us.

Please recall too that freenet is beta software, and FreeWeb is alpha code.
At such early stages of development, it is acceptable, even expected, that
software will have very unfinished areas, and require some technical
knowledge and/or 'feel' to use.

Freenet 0.5 will be the first truly user-friendly Freenet fit for the
masses - even then, it will still be late beta code. FreeWeb 0.1.5, plus
other client applications, will be released at or before that time as well.

So if you want things to happen faster, then:
1) Learn some programming languages, preferably Java and C.
2) Study the Freenet source code and project documentation
3) Study the freenet project mailing list archives
4) Join the developers on IRC chat at irc.debian.org, #freenet
5) Find an area where you can be of use, and get to work

Otherwise, just wait for 0.5 to come out.

David
