For those of you that do not know, I am currently working on building a distributed search engine for I2P. While it is still in an alpha state, it is approaching the point where it could use some wider testing. It is now in cvs under the module khksearch. I was planning to hold off on releasing it until I fixed a bug preventing servers from joining in mid operation, but it has proved elusive enough, that I think more eyeballs may help. One thing that some of you may be interested in even if you don't care about the search engine itself, is that to make it work with I2P I took the streaming library for Java and put it into a wrapper class that imitates java.net so all one has to do is take the wrapper code put it in the class path and in your java program replace "import java.net.*" with "Import search.connection.*" and your app is instantly ported to I2P. (Assuming it is fairly simplistic and only has one socket server per Jvm instance. But this could easily be improved upon if anyone is interested. ) There is still lots to do, not all of which requires huge technical skill. (Code cleanup, Better instructions, Startup scripts for windows and other JVMs) Also the existing awt interface needs to be converted into an applet or so that it can run within a webpage. The biggest thing that remains to be done is implementing the ranking code, I plan to do this next. As far as the license goes, it will we a free software license that permits modification and public access to the source. (probably lgpl or similar) However all of the scripts and all of the code for the wrapper, were written by me, and are public domain. So if you are interested in helping out, or would just like to play with it, check it out. _______________________________________________ i2p mailing list i2p@i2p.net http://i2p.dnsalias.net/mailman/listinfo/i2p ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07078, 11.61144 http://www.leitl.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE http://moleculardevices.org http://nanomachines.net [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature]
