As I am not sure if the first message was a bit unclear and if the first reply was sarcasm, let me be a bit more descriptive:
I want to provide descriptions and texts for the public who is not interested in technical details. Something I see currently a lack of. Technical and academical descriptions, texts, etc are something people with a specific interest will dig in anyhow if they exist, but people I talk to about SecuShare, which then also includes GNUnet naturally, in most cases get an explanation from myself in a language which tries to be self explanatory or at least leaves as little questions as possible. Take these 2 paragraphs (from the current frontpage of GNUnet, the first eye catcher) and try to think from the perspective of a person without technological background: "GNUnet is a framework for secure peer-to-peer networking that does not use any centralized or otherwise trusted services. Our high-level goal is to provide a strong free software foundation for a global network that provides security and in particular respects privacy. GNUnet started with an idea for anonymous censorship-resistant file-sharing, but has grown to incorporate other applications as well as many generic building blocks for secure networking applications. In particular, GNUnet now includes the GNU Name System, a privacy-preserving, decentralized public key infrastructure." This does not work from the previously assumed perspective, I tried this with people I know who have good general technological understanding. I am not pointing out that the texts are completely broken, they work for me personally. What I intend to do is to provide descriptions I came up with since I started talking to people about GNUnet, around questions people had. I hope this gives some clarification on what I intend to do, otherwise Christian should have gotten a bit clearer in person explanation in Berlin at logancij. -- ng personal contact: http://krosos.sdf.org EDN: https://wiki.c3d2.de/Echt_Dezentrales_Netz/en _______________________________________________ GNUnet-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnunet-developers
