Hi,
I just finished proofreading the printable GnuFU PDFs in english and
german. With those Gnutella For Users has now reached its first final
version, which can freely be used by anyone.
The PDFs are registered under a creative commons license:
attribution-sharealike, which means, you can freely do anything with
the PDFs and the source files (zipped Ragtime-documents) as long as you
attribute my works to me and share your work under a similar license.
You can get a copy of the license here:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/de/ .
As I don't have access to my Webserver at the moment, I can only serve
those files over Gnutella. Additionally they are avaible in the GDF-file repository (which sadly is only accessible by Yahoo-members):
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/the_gd...laneous/GnuFU/
For those who don't yet know GnuFU:
GnuFU: Gnutella For Users, a user-friendly guide and documentation of
the protocol changes
GnuFU is the definite Guide to Gnutella for all those interested in the
concepts and ideas behind the code, and also for those who don't want
to read thousands of lines of code to understand the program they use.
It is written in a user-friendly style, which should allow everyone to
understand it without needing years of coding experience.
It should be technically correct, while not diving to deep into
technical issues.
I licensed it under the GFDL, the Gnu Free Documentations License, and
you are free to use it on your site to describe Gnutella, as long as
you name me as first author and give a backlink to it.
The document-format is a wiki, so you can correct errors and add new
information (but please stick to the non-technical style).
At the moment it is available in English and German.
You can get GnuFU via Bitzi, the GDF-file repository or from
http://gnufu.net.
I hope this proves useful to get people interested in Gnutella, who
stopped tracking it 3 years ago (and there are quite some of them).
If you'd send this document to newspapers, news-sites or portal-pages
you know I'd be most happy, because I want it to spread as far as
possible.
You can also make me happy by downloading it and putting it into your shared folder, because then it becomes more avaible on Gnutella.
