Having just started playing with developing with Freenet, i had similar confusions. ?Being a Rubyist, i started to look for a ruby library - unfortunately, there was no Gem. ?Then when i grabbed the lib-rubyFreenet code off github, it didn't work... it needed a ruby version many years old and seemed to not quite do what it was supposed to. ?It appears to be a sign of no real developer community and possibly a lack of interest, which is kind of sad.

First, I'd like to convert the documentation from epydoc to sphinx. ?Sphinx is much prettier by default, has a number of great themes, is not dead (Epydoc's last release was almost six years ago!), lends itself to user-documentation (not just API docs), and is supported by Read the Docs, a fantastic documentation project that has become the standard for Python projects. Secondly, the package is in actuality many different things, tied together merely by subject (Freenet) and implementation language (Python); a good half of the readme is a description of the various projects. ?Why should someone wanting to work with the Freenet protocol in Python need to install an IRC bot, or an XML-RPC server? ?A split should, of course, consist of a number of forks from the current HEAD, so as to maintain revision history for each project. (BTW, the 'requires' argument is misspelled 'requries' in the setup.py; I imagine setuptools would complain about this any time you attempt to build the package.) (BTW #2, what is the point of having separate -official and -staging repositories? ?Is this not the point of branches?) My apologies if this is stepping on any toes; I'm not at all familiar with the development history of Freenet or PyFCP, so I am relying upon you to point out any reasons things should stay as they are.
