Please vote for Mercurial over Freenet

[Arne Babenhauserheide]

Hi, 

If you like it, please vote on a wish for freenet (a network for anonymous 
publishing): 

Use Mercurial via freenet to allow people to contribute pseudonymously 
(anonymous, but with verifiable pseudonyms).

http://freenet.uservoice.com/pages/general/suggestions/108092-add-an-
anonymous-code-repository-via-freenethg

------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ 
Add an anonymous code repository via freenethg 

Via FreenetHG developers can collaborate anonymously/pseudonymously 
in a distributed fashion with all the advantages of distributed version 
control via Mercurial. 

I think it would be great (and consistent with freenets idea) if freenet had 
an anonymous repository (for example a regularly updated clone), which people 
could clone to contribute anonymously. 

They could then upload these clones again to let the main developers pull - 
and Mercurial also supports signing changesets with GnuPG, so freenethg 
allows to have strong authentification of the pseudonymous contributors.
------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ 

Currently Freenet is developed over subversion, which is somehow inconsistent 
with developing a secure anonymous publishing platform, so I think Mercurial 
and Freenet would both gain from using Mercurial to make anonymous 
collaboration far easier. 

Best wishes, 
Arne
