CCing to the development mailing list as scientific work deserves to be there.
Perhaps sign up for that list as well to ensure you get all mails, and
afterwards check the web archive for any you might have missed.

Thanks for your interest in this!
It seems you were already pointed to the code on GitHub, so here's something
about the aspect of simulations:
Luckily, Matthew Toseland aka toad has recently done very much simulation work
as his dissertation, so you have a scientific paper to get started with!
It is linked in the pull request with his simulator improvements:
https://github.com/freenet/fred/pull/576
It may take a while until this is merged since it's lots of work to review and
we don't have very many reviewers. Matthew currently doesn't have much time to
contribute to Freenet as well so:
- Help with spotting bugs would be encouraged :)
- It seems nobody has actually read his paper yet to e.g. find potential
improvements to Freenet. So if you run into any of those, it would be good to
start a discussion about them here; or even file a pull request against the
code itself to fix them.
I've put Matthew CC on so he notices this.
Please keep us up to date, for example post your paper to the development
mailing list once it is done, and report any security issues you encounter.
And finally: Most of our daily discussion happens on IRC. If you want to
permanently join development, I would recommend setting up a bouncer in our
channel and reporting about your progress every once in a while. It may take
people some hours to answer, but they will do so usually :)
Thanks!
