[p2p-hackers] State of GNUnet 0.7.0 (Re: p2p framework)

[Bram Neijt]

Hi. everybody.

I'm just beginning at looking into P2P and started a side-line
project. However, I have future dreams to develop a P2P client for
distributed 3D data sharing, distributed IRC and a community/mail
system.

So, I'm also looking for a framework. Now I'm not out for speed, but
am looking for: secure and annonymous but identifiable clients.

Although I'm not really content with the gnunetd server, I though
GNUnet would be a good candidate. Because I'll probably work out my
own library (C++ fan) it's more the core protocol I'm worried about.

Any suggestions on where to focus my attention?

Greetings,
  Bram
