Hello, First of all, I apologize for my lack of communication lately. I've spend most of my time working on a school project.
So, here is what I have already done: - I made index format specifications for the indexes which will be used in the upload and download utility (I still have to work on it). - I made a spider adaptation to try this format. - I found a name for the upload and download utility: "Thaw" (thanks to Ian Clarke :) - I created a directory in the repository ( /trunk/apps/Thaw/ ) - Nextgens created a separate mailing-list for the commit messages and discussion : thaw at freenetproject.org ( http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thaw ) - I've started to design the user interface and the plugin mechanism. It will probably change a lot in a near future, but you can already have a preview by compiling and running what is in the repository ("ant run") What I still have to do: - Finish the user interface - Implement the FCP protocol. I'm wondering if it could be better for me to reuse the implementation of freemail or not. - Implement a basic queue manager - Make the connections between the user interface and the queue manager At this point, we should have a good java Fuqid replacement :) After that, I will have to implement index management: - Create / insert / update indexes - View / browse indexes - As Bback suggested, I will implement [re]insertions on demand. - As ET suggested, I will try to handle file splitting (though, I still need to think about how I will do that) Currenly, my main problem is that, next week, I will be unavailable because of my final exams, and during the weekend, I will be at my parents' without any "real" computer, so I will only be able to restart to work after next week. Cheers, -- Jerome Flesch.
