You could try improving some existing extension to get a feel how freenet works. Adding multi-site support to Freereader might be a good start. Or maybe first starting with adding an option to set the site title. https://github.com/freenet/plugin-Freereader-staging Or just look for a GSoC task which interests you most and see if you can find a very small starting project for that. http://new-wiki.freenetproject.org/Google_Summer_of_Code/2012 Best wishes, Arne -- A man in the streets faces a knife. Two policemen are there it once. They raise a sign: ?Illegal Scene! Noone may watch this!? The man gets robbed and stabbed and bleeds to death. The police had to hold the sign. ?Welcome to Europe, citizen. Censorship is beautiful.
