The interface to freenet and Freenet itself are seperate animals that are currently being worked on. This project is still relatively young, and raises more questions than answers at times due to the nature of Freenet; anonymity and censorship. Currently, I am working on the FCPtools, including ezFCPlib, a C based FCP library. It was originally written (very well) by David McNab; however it was written on Windows. Before a useful GUI can be built for freenet, 2 things must happen: 1) FCP spec must stabilize. 2) ezFCPlib must be ported to all possible platforms. I've taken it upon myself to take care of 2). However, I am not quite there yet. > *IF* you can tap that network of data but also allow > Freenet from the same GUI, you are getting Freenet in > front of more eyes and getting another node to cache > to. -- Jay Oliveri "In the land of the blind, System Architect the one-eyed man is king."
