Why do you wanna have everything explained? why don't you read existing sources? We explained it again and again, and we are tired of that.

But ok, i'll try to explain it -again- to you, if you read it without saying "wrong" because it's cool to say "wrong"; just sit back and relax........

There are - in my opinion - 3 or 4 problems with gnutella:

- as in many other threads mentioned, the "commercial ones":
(O) Building Spyware into clients isn't ok, there's the feature to don't install it, but: the normal user doesn't even know what spyware is!!
I have nothing against making money with a client, i hate that they make money with information of uninformed users, would you like to have your credit card number publicied without knowing that??

(O) The influence in the GDF, especially BS alias Vinnie: If you haven't realized it yet, Vinnie rules the GDF, everything that he says has to be done. If you keep to don't implement it, you're concidered as unhealthy for the net, without a technical reason (see Xolox, and later the rest of the 0.4 clients)

(O) Endless debates about small topics are slowing down developing

(O) The commercials only do what's best for THEM, not for the network, do you really think clustering clients as BS does is OK? The time that they prefer own clients has already come, a net split between them and the rest is needed!

(O) Changes are implemented before thinking about them, for example Ultrapeers

and much more...

What could be done? maybe there are some points:

- building up a small community of developers who decide equally which features are good and which not.

- dividing client developing and network developing a bit more: That would mean that in the end all clients speak the same language and are 100% compatible to each other.

- creating 2 nets: a huge User.net, the normal net...
and a small Developers.net, where developers can test out changes and new ideas

The GDC was - in my opinion - a step into the right Direction, but it seems that everyone has given up and left the whole gnutella devloping

To come to a conclusion, my opinion is, that all not-commercial developers should leave the GDF and meet at another place to discuss and decide equally (e.g. Polls) what to do.

Please, Seph, don't say "no" before thinking about these points.. otherwise the effect will be that you not encouraging new ideas,but destroying all.. Maybe this is also my last post, i've much to do for my last big tests in school.

patience is a virtue
