For the first one, there are a lot of small suggestions on the bug tracker. There have also been some mockups. Possibly more useful would be fully debugging the web-pushing (comet, GWT) code so that it works well even on slow browsers, enabling it by default, and re-integrating the pushing on the various places where it was turned off for merging. Another point where user interface work could be useful is the Freetalk plugin. Writing a microblogging plugin would involve a lot more Freenet-specific stuff. Have a look at evanbd's freesite proposing it, he gives algorithms for how to implement it efficiently. You might also want to talk to digger3, who has done some work on this. A naive implementation probably won't scale well, although the chat forums tool Freetalk and the pseudo-twitter-social thing Sone are implemented exactly that way. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
