Hey! documenting pieces of code, which does not belong to you, can be really really painful (according to my personal experience of course) I wanted to suggest the renewal of the whole web interface (as I did last GSoC): The idea is to work with templates instead of generating HTML output inside

Hi! Should Freenet take part to Google Summer of Code 2012? Is anyone motivated to mentor candidates? I'd like to mentor but probably won't do it if I'm the only one. Florent

I'd be interested in doing this! It'd be good to get more people to understand more of the codebase and document while we're at it. From my experience Freenet does need cleanup for best practices quite badly and I've been wanting to do an extensive cleanup run for quite some time. I've already

I'm not up to speed with specifics of the current Freenet codebase but I'd enjoy mentoring for general java/jvm development best practices. More so, I'd hate to see Freenet miss out on fresh talent. On Thu, Feb 16, 2012 at 1:12 PM, Florent Daigniere < nextgens at freenetproject.org> wrote: >
