Hi folks,

the good news is that I spent the last week at reviewing the whole WoT
plugin, rewriting very much of it, refactoring it so it has a better
architecture and adding synchronization to it so the multi-threading won't
screw up any more.

In general this means that most bugs in WoT should be fixed. Please report
any exceptions from your logs or the web interface here.

The bad news about this is that the old trust databases will not be imported
anymore so you will start with a blank we of trust. I decided to do so
because I re-designed the XML-file-format of WoT and did not want to waste
time for writing a backwards-compatible parser as the WoT was not really
being used anyway. I hope this is okay for you, the benefit is that the
architecture of the XML is very clean now.

The next step will be to debug Freetalk and finish it's UI. If anyone wants
to contribute just ask me.

For now, the trunk versions of WoT and Freetalk should be sorta useable:
http://downloads.freenetproject.org/alpha/plugins/
1. First load WoT 
2. Then load Freetalk
3. Go to the Freetalk web interface and use the identity creation wizard for
creating an identity ... or create it at the WoT web interface. You can no
write messages with Freetalk. Please do not shut down Freetalk until they
have been sent as it currently purges it's database at startup. If you wait
until the messages are sent it will re-download them after restart. This is
to help debugging...

4. After 2-5 minutes captchas should be available at the WoT web interface:
Own identities -> Introduce. Solve a few of them.
5. As soon as you see a number greater than 0 in the "Trusters" column of
your own identities page of the WoT plugin, others will see your Freetalk
messages probably.

- Steps 4 and 5 will of course be integrated into Freetalk, probably this is
my next task.


Greetings, xor
