OK, the third point is the problem. What papers ? Where ? I think to know well most if not aall the content of the site (I coordinate and in part translate the Italian version of the site with other volunteers) and to have enough knowledge to understand (at least in part) the internals of Freenet. Simply, I have not enought time to "try to understand" things that *must* have some description *on the site*. This is a tremendous waste, for me and for all. I know that this is a normal way to live in internet, but I think that Freenet is a self-coordinate effort. Or we are doing a picnic ? Sorry, to earn my living I partly teach, and so maybe I overestimate the importance of the ability to find knowledge, and sometime I develop software, and so maybe I am overestimating the importance of documentation, but for sure there is a lot of people working hard on Freenet that vastly underestimate both !
