Hello,
i plan to code a closed-source gnutella client for linux and windows using the ptypes library (http://ptypes.sf.net).
However it's easier and more fun to do it in a team so i look for help in here
I plan to do the client as a leaf-node only client with the main design goal on simplicity for the user ...
If you want to join me send me a private message in here or write a email to (the username of me in here) @ guruz.de ..

bye

No offense, but why dont you join an existing project?
That's better to start from the scratch....
Or do you want fame?

Huh, hmmm, then tell me a project that is closed source and lets me join and isn't so advanced that i have no chance to understand it.. and well yes, it also should fit into the vision i have of a gnutella client. Then i would join something else instead of doing my own thing

ciao

Why it has to be closed source?
Well you could join Gnucleus, just download the code, make some improvements and send it to John Marshall.

I like OpenSource, but i don't think making my client open source helps anyone, the gnutella specs are open anyway so everyone can code what he wants to.
And i don't like using the gnucleus COM object, i want to do my own, non-bloated thing

thanks kathw

by the way, i have changed my mind, it will be open source, so if anyone wants to help contact me

We have started a project to make a Gnutella client/library portable in C++ (based on gnucleus, but without the COM).

You are welcome to contribute, http://gnucula.sourceforge.net

It's up to you to keep the Gnutella client source closed. The project is primarily focus on Gnutella library though.
