Hi Arne, thanks for the insights and the links. Please note that the current CENO project is actually using Freenet as a signalling and storage backend!`:)` > Ivan Vilata-i-Balaguer <i...@equalit.ie> writes: > > 1.

CENO already includes some RSS feeds from selected sites, I'm not sure how this would aling with the particular requirement (we were focusing more in web sites), but it's without doubt an innovative approach.
