Oscar, I agree with you that protocol specs, and other docu is the most 
important thing to have in that project. Reading Ian's thesis gives you 
some ideas but it doesn't really tell you something about Freds 
architecture.
But on the other hand there is the Freenet Wiki where people can start 
doing the documentation themselves and in fact nobody has done so yet. 
You might just want to start on doing something and bother 
Oskar,Ian,Scott on the specific topics. They are willing to reveal their 
tacit and secret knowledge after all. You can't really blame *them* for 
not liking to document stuff. We simply have no documentation guys on 
the project so far...

Sebastian
