Yes ;-). > So I have a few questions: > > 1) Did the two projects really merge? Well, let's say we're working very closely together now ;-). > 2) Will there be another prototype (there used to be even some QML code), but > inside the GNUnet source tree? Unclear, for now the GNUnet source tree "only" contains the code that'll provide infrastructure for the social networking application(s). Maybe SecuShare will end up in there as well, maybe it'll be a separate tree. Most likely it'll be separate, as I'd see that part as a GUI, and GUIs are so far always kept outside of the main tree (see gnunet-gtk). > 3) It wasn't clear (to me) before that secure share was using the GADS > system. > Was it already planned/implemented or is this a new thing? I don't think it was in the very original vision, but I think the decision to use GNS (GADS was renamed to GNU Name System recently) was taken about a year ago or so. > 4) That "You broke the Internet" presentation was awesome.

SecuShare started in ~2010 (?), looking at P2P networks to build on; decided to pick GNUnet, they created a prototype; We met in person in 2012, talked about the architecture, Lynx convinced me PSYC was a good idea; I think I convinced them of using GNS and some refinements to the architecture Gabor wrote down the new architecture in detail in 2013 and started to implement it. I think that sums it up ;-). Happy hacking! Christian -- [email protected] https://lists.tgbit.net/mailman/listinfo.cgi/secu-share
