-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, Welcome to the freenet-dev list! I myself am "not" a developer, but I am working a bit on the UI (or at least trying to). I've made some icons in Inkscape (.svg) for the interface. Trouble is, I'm not a CSS guru. We definitely could use some help on that. The entire interface should have a theme that is more user-friendly. If you join #freenet IRC channel you can discuss that with us.
Regarding file sharing, FreeNet isn't exactly cut-out for big uploads and downloads. All though it can, it just takes forever. As an example you can checkout the "Legal Downloads" flog on freenet, where linux distro are trying to be mirrored for testing. The devs have been working on the speed problems for years. You can see the flog posts "Scream if you Wanna go Faster Parts 1-3" once you join freenet. It's pretty technical... See you around. :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJN452ZAAoJEF3y7+7mx3k+Q3IQAIsCEy63Zf43C5E5Ak24pkCT k/6dNwnVA33NsaUsvkNAlSp2VGIKxwVSqy4ebNOSN2udMcmCvLZLlT57llsKnPpb HoPMzsDJCG+3zCpn74NAmibJxCkgSpqbJlOlycM1gRwTNPrm0EVNzJe/YLH1smo9 ZU0CNmi24JqCxpRs8podOHhiT/Tm+7xYrQXj+v3VvsaGKaIDt4Qe8UNZouldIMav N4cqxTvwqKetqHagS7emxWTtFBBfV2lWjtycjBHuHVIjafH5EkXRCgD+Vx3M1OuD BraYUPT2l94FiqL251idNoiSCPg+eUsbvdA3Jy9jkNu3wu1AB8m4VWGKkmPXx9Sg 73rMpzXErCsjKDjI9F2NI9EtLDvLXUlF8Ev0RjL6vpSMSx/plNtlLxJ+cbj1nHiY /FLoH03FYJwHy50J77J2+hWRARfyugwC9vQeDosFzuC1DAFTrZKkX1Q4IbsNUGeM 5PNXea942O77sSL7yfwq5OpJEmXXy9pyPoo1ADWvnRVO+2dQiOklTybc+nNAZuxs ZFaVqQwHKRpeyLOsOYlF29X19CMoerU27EqXgUEGoks3nW7q1r3wrIvFymw1FlGw TypVEBF4GArghHzw54e/g7pMOiWexcNPgFBtAAz+LQe+g3zn449jG1tJhx7SL67o OeR4H1JbNDnjFgn4maba =jl9q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --- On Mon, 5/30/11, Tom Elovi Spruce <i.love.comput3rs at gmail.com> wrote: From: Tom Elovi Spruce <i.love.comput...@gmail.com> Subject: [freenet-dev] Greetings Freenet Devs To: devl at freenetproject.org Date: Monday, May 30, 2011, 12:29 AM Hi all, I'm a CS student who is more into design and art than I am with technical implementation. ?(However, I can't help but get obsessed with technical details when the project asks for it.) Anyways, I've talked with sanity on reddit and it seems you need some UI contributors:?http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/ehep2/why_do_wikileaks_supporters_propose_designing/c1wm4y5 Now let me make something clear, my interest in this project is to work off what you guys are doing and create an application that serves a utility to the general public. I want to create utilities in order to aid you guys in the deployment of a censorship-free publishing platform that you strive to create. Pretty much, I'm more into the non-political aspects of your project, but I see no harm in helping your free-speech endeavors. (it's not like the Chinese government is going to hunt me down, right? right!?). Nonetheless, I would like to see Freenet grow in popularity in the same light as bitcoin and bittorrent.? Moving on, I see two utilities with Freenet:? 1. Utilizing a darknet for creating an internet among friends. I see this as a stepping stone for getting people started with the opennet. People love to share files among their friends, what Freenet can offer is an easy-to-use and robust sharing platform.? 2. Creating a free web publishing platform for everyone. This way, you can convince people to be part of the opennet and get more nodes. Maybe this will lead to having the opennet "feel" just as responsive as the typical client-server platform of HTTP (I'm?likely?wrong on this; you guys know better). In fact, this is what got me hooked on Freenet. This idea that you have all these computers on the internet, why can't you utilize them to host files instead of a client-server model? The hurdle I see with this is convincing people that the information they will store on their computer will not harm them or make them liable for the content they host for others.? Now I will be busy this summer, I have plenty of responsibilities to address to. The best I can do as of now is to keep studying your current infrastructure and, on my free time,?create and share mockups to receive some feedback from y'all.? Looking forward to...well whatever happens by the time it gets dark:?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUvyUWhpRJY [insert valediction],i?computers -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
