Why GNUnet?Why GNUnet?Posted Dec 5, 2005 15:04 UTC (Mon) by kevinbsmith (guest, #4778)In reply to: Why GNUnet? by grothoff Parent article: An introduction to GNUnet
Very helpful response! Thank you. I hope more of that information ends up on the GNUnet web site.
So here's how I would explain to someone in 30 seconds how those systems relate to each other:
TOR is currently mostly for anonymous surfing of the existing web. Freenet is an alternate web that allows both publishers and viewers to remain anonymous. Neither system ensures complete anonymity, but both make it difficult for someone to be identified. GNUnet is intended more for anonymous p2p file sharing (not interactive surfing), and aims for stronger anonymity.
Hopefully I got that right. You might also consider putting on the GNUnet front page three or four anecdotes describing scenarios in which people would really benefit from using GNUnet. That might encourage more of us to run GNUnet nodes, even if we don't plan on publishing or retrieving any data, just because we want to support those activities.
