:-) I am writing some minihowtos for linux newbies, and have also written about freenet. I find the documentation on "http://freenetproject.org/documentation.html"; very good, but also confusing about some important points, like "connect" and "darknet" (just two important examples). I have freenet running (I think), but do not get much downloaded.
My point is to make a quick manual, which is made for newbies, using only simple everyday words and phrases. I am only speaking on behalf of freenet NEWBIES, who want to experience/go to the freenet, and surf, and fetch stuff, and I have read, that most people only spend short time on websites, when surfing (human impatience). *humour* I would like to make such a quick manual, but I cannot find my way to get the information I need. I made a manual, and freenet took the link away, without explaining exact to my brain, what had to be changed/updated. I have updated, but are unsure of what I have done. For me, it is important to get explanations about terms, which are not evident to newbies. What I can offer is the mind of a newbie, to communicate with the minds of the developers! I made a manual, but would like to make it even better and easier to understand. Another possibility is you to update your documentation, and remove unnecessary text (if needed?). This is a friendly mail, hoping to get my problem sorted out? Happy New Near to all you brave people out there.
