[freenet-support] Request for proofreading: Announcing donation from Google

2009-05-12 Thread Matthew Toseland
I will post this on the website tomorrow if there are no objections. If anyone 
can suggest any improvements, please do so; sometimes what I write isn't 
readable by human beings!

7th May, 2009 - Another big donation!

Google's Open Source team has donated US$18,000 to the Freenet Project to 
support the ongoing development of the Freenet software (thanks again 
Google!).

Their last donation funded the db4o project, which has now been merged into 
Freenet, greatly improving performance for large download queues while 
reducing memory usage, amongst other benefits.

We are currently working on Freenet 0.8, which will be released later this 
year, and will include additional performance improvements, usability work, 
and security improvements, as well as the usual debugging. Features are not 
yet finalized but we expect it to include Freetalk (a new anonymous web 
forums tool), a new Vista-compatible installer for Windows (that part will be 
out in a few days), and hopefully Bloom filter sharing, a new feature 
enabling nodes to know what is in their peers' datastores, greatly improving 
performance, combined with some related security improvements.

[freenet-support] Is it my system, or had builds 1208-1209 have severe performance issues?

Sorry, was away on a long weekend :-(. I'll fire up the node first thing
tomorrow with requested logging and will report back.

How about: Google makes a second donation to Freenet!

Everything else looks good.

...Bloom filter sharing. 

Bloom filter sharing will enable nodes to know what is in their peers 
datastores without impacting anonymity and should result in much improved 
performance and better security.

That would be my suggestion. 

Best wishes, 
Arne
