Ian, I do think he is referring to another kind of search than you are. What he wants, is to search for e.g. "Kill AND Government" in a search engine like style. >>So *WHO* is working on building one single application >>that is able to bring this all together? *THAT* is >>the open source project I want to donate my time and >>coding talents to. > Well, remember that our goal is not to build the next Napster or > Gnutella, and many of the goals of such a project would be a distraction > from our core goals. As long as big binaries are put into *every single* datastore they pass on their way, I have the feeling that they do a lot of damage to Freenet.
