SRL, again you prove helpfull. Great.
But you did not exactly answer the question. The question am I helpfull?
Yes, there are other protocols. No, I did not know of giFT. But, there is a lot of life in Gnutella, it lives. There are good things going on. giFT does not have Gnutella's history but it does also not have its community.
In LimeWire I see things I like a lot, it has most of the things I need, it could do really well. It could be combined with a Zope. A central database that allows for decentral storage...
The thing is, there are many exciting things going on. It IS hard to choose. Once you make a choise you have to evaluate before you drop it. So am I helpfull? I can test, I can write, I can point and I can provide a community with a tool that they do not even now they miss. (the cactus community
)
Thanks,
have fun
Gerard
