OK thanks for the feedback. My part saying 'Freenet is not built solely for speed' was where I was trying to get across the fact that some things to take a while to retrieve. I'm not sure if there is a better way to word that though.
At a later stage when the web site is finished I plan on working on some proper documentation for end users. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:devl-admin at freenetproject.org] On Behalf Of Cruise Sent: 03 January 2003 10:36 To: devl at freenetproject.org Subject: Re: [freenet-dev] (no subject) >Ive been trying to rethink the What is Freenet??section of the site. In my opinion this is the most important part of the site as it is the part that most people will read first. Ive attached my attempt at writing the section. Quite a few parts were borrowed from the existing text that Ian wrote. I think the two most important things when explaining what Freenet is should be to emphasise that it is for freedom of speech and not another filesharing network. The other thing was to make sure to point out that Freenet isnt just restricted to sharing files with one another. I think you manage that pretty well. ? >I dont think this section should be too technical, it is mainly to spark a interest with the reader and to get across a very basic understanding of what Freenet is. More detailed information should be in the documentation and already exists in the papers we have for download. Agreed. So I'd suggest the "Significantly, Freenet generally requires log(n) time to retrieve a piece of information in a network of size n." line in the bullet list at the top be dropped. It's probably worth mentioning at some point (maybe in another part of the site), but it's way too technical for a quick summary of Freenet's features.
