Hmmm, weren't we clear? Lets see ... "Freemail sort of works, has had some good bug fixes recently, but currently strictly requires an IMAP/SMTP email client. It would be better to have a web interface. It would be better still to tie into the WoT; Freemail might need to reuse some components of Freetalk. Also, Freetalk itself could probably use significant UI improvements." Okay, so the basic elements: - Debugging. - Web interface. Possibly borrowed from Freetalk. - Integration with the WebOfTrust plugin. On both the low level (including freemail details in a published WoT identity, use WoT to introduce an identity for private messaging) and the GUI level (click on an identity in WoT (Community menu) or Freetalk; or send a private reply to a Freetalk message). - Anti-spam other than through the WoT, probably using WoT's CAPTCHAs. (May require exposing an API for them) You'd have to talk to p0s in some detail. IMHO Freemail would probably end up being part of Freetalk, so we don't need two separate web user interfaces etc. This project definitely involves dealing with a lot of relatively complex stuff that already exists in Freenet... Plus there is the question of rewriting the web interface for both Freetalk and Freemail to be a bit more modern; the current system is very much like phpbb2 and similar oldish forum systems, without even having a proper WYSIWYG post editor. > > Thank you. > > PS: is this the correct mailing list to discuss about Google Summer of Code > problems related to Freenet.
