Ian: I just spoke to somebody at Uprizer, and they said they will ask you to contact me. Please do, I will only take a few minutes of your time. I'm in a bit of a catch-22, in that I don't want to give the design out, unless I feel you're open to merging forces. I would be very grateful if we could speak over the phone first, then perhaps meet in person, where I will share the design with you. I believe we have the same goals, but different methods of getting there. Before I disclose the design, I simply need to know if you're open to developing a new network file system standard, the byproducts of which will be the accomplishment of the same goals as freenet, but a whole lot more. For example, I've gotten past the (equivalent of) freenet's keys, and have made it to the level where MFS handles are invisible, and the end user sees standard URL's. With current file system technology, 2 different files may have the same URL. When the filename is used as the file handle (from a file system perspective), caching it temporary. I've got permanent caching. - Josh, 562-673-6236 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Ian Clarke Sent: Sunday, May 13, 2001 10:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [freenet-tech] I've designed a global file system, it will obsolete NFS, Gnutella, etc. I want to be assimilated by freenet! << File: ATT00018.dat >> On Sat, May 12, 2001 at 09:55:30PM -0700, Josh wrote: > Fellow bitheads, I have designed a superior network file system.
