Hello,
not sure what Christians thoughts about ERIS are, but in general we are
open to the idea and FS needs a rewrite anyway (according to CHristian).
That being said, we currently have a couple of bigger fish to fry:
- New CORE subsystem
- Finish up R5N specification and RFC
- Stabilize new transport subsystem.
See also https://www.gnunet.org/en/roadmap.html
You are very welcome to help with any part of the roadmap... we are
swamped ;)

Hello GNUnet,
A few years ago (time flies!) the idea to use ERIS for GNUnet
filesharing was discussed and well received [1,2]. In particular as it
would allow proper integration with GNS.
Is this still the case? Are patches towards using ERIS + GNS as a
replacement for the current GNUnet filesharing welcome? Are there any
other considerations that need to be made before? Would it make sense to
document this idea in the roadmap or elsewhere?
The ERIS specification has been stabilized in a version 1.0.0 published
in 2022 [3]. There are now a bunch of implementations in various languages,
some small friend-to-friend networks in operation, a renewed interest in
getting distributed substitutes with ERIS for Guix [4] and some
integrations planned (and funded!) [5].
It would be very nice if all these developments align with where GNUnet
is heading and we can look forward to a future where GNUnet is
interoperable with things using ERIS. By making the vision more explicit
we might be able to motivate people to contribute to it.
Cheers,
