I see your concerns and hence I checked the SoC2005 website to see how much work have been done by other projects in 2005. For instance, there were two projects for gaim. One student implemented STUN/SIP/Simple and another studenten implemented UPnP for gaim. So, I guess it should be enough work for a Soc2006 project to add STUN/UPnP to freenet. However, could you please provide me a hint where I can find more information about ARKs. Probably I should consider implementing ARKs as well? I like the basic idea of ARKs, however, I think my understanding of ARKs is not deep enough to make a decision. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
