While documentation of FNP has always lagged behind development as it has in-effect been a work in progress for the past few years, FCP has always been reasonably well specified. For example, here are specs for the current FCP, and Freenet Metadata formats: http://freenet.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=docs Specs do not yet exist for FCP in 0.7 because FCP in 0.7 is still under development. > Who is going to rebuild and port the applications for 0.5 Freenet to 0.7 > Freenet? Someone who is psychic and knows the code I guess. How do you expect us to document FCP in 0.7 before we have even settled on the requirements for it? Instead of moaning that "someone should do this" or "someone should do that", why not do something useful and offer to help us develop a spec? Very little happens in open source projects unless people are willing to take responsibility for getting things done themselves, rather than just asking others why it isn't happening. Ian.
