I think before we consider functionality that can be added, the first priority is to figure out how to make the web interface more friendly for newbies - even if that means burying some of the more powerful functionality. Someone needs to be able to come to the front page of the web interface and intuitively understand what they can do next, I don't believe that is the case with the current UI - its too focussed on providing diagnostics and functionality for users that are already experienced and know what Freenet is all about.
