Freeweb is probably a no brainer - it is, right now, the only publishing
tool that I know of with a GUI.
I havn't used FCPTools for a long time, but they are still probably the
simplest way to insert a site. But people tell me that this is still
true.
I can't speak for any of the other site insertion tools out there, but I
can speak for fishtools being difficult to use if you don't have a
pre-existing understanding of freenet, and therefore is really more
suitable to being discovered when a user exists on freenet rather than
from the freenet main page.
It's really a tough problem, because right now there is nothing which is
both new user friendly and hardcore freesite operator friendly. I havn't
had time to finish my GUI for my stuff yet (I wrote one implentation,
actully, but it completly sucked ass, so I threw it out and started again,
heh), so I'm not the saviour for now.
(side note: the original crappy gui was written using wxPython, which is
all good. But, like I said, not powerful enough. Anyhow, I had this
thought, second time around, of writing the GUI in html, and having a
siteserver that handled inserting your site every day and whatever. do
people have thoughts on this?)
