| 203 | 256 If you thought publishing blogs was tricky, try publishing a book. |
| 257 ("Alms for Jihad" comes to mind as one obvious example, where the | |
| 258 publisher went so far as to delete the book from its own database and | |
| 259 buried the copyright.) While physical books may not be so simple to | |
| 260 publish on AnoNet (although you can certainly raise awareness of them | |
| 261 by speaking out about them on AnoNet), e-books enjoy considerable | |
| 262 anti-censorship advantages on AnoNet. | |

| 203 | 266 You may want to teach disciplines that can get you into friction with "the |
| 267 authorities" in a tyrannical regime. (Judges in prominent first-world | |
| 268 countries have ruled, for example, that knowing your way around a computer | |
| 269 is an indication that you may be involved in computer-related crimes.) | |
| 270 AnoNet gives you an opportunity to teach without your students being | |
| 271 able to point you out to the authorities, even under pain of torture. | |

| 203 | 275 You may find yourself in the middle of a news story, but other parts |
| 276 of that news story may not appreciate your reports. When you report | |
| 277 something to WikiLeaks without going through tor, you're leaving a long | |
| 278 trail that may lead to you. With AnoNet, you can hide that trail to | |
| 279 a certain extent, if you don't want to use tor directly. (WikiLeaks | |
| 280 over tor will still give you better protection than AnoNet, if you're | |
| 281 worried about your government's intelligence agencies getting involved. | |
| 282 AnoNet's optimization towards pseudonymity with common IcannNet protocols | |
| 283 is the weakness, here. We're working on that, but in the meantime you | |
| 284 have L<tor|http://www.torproject.org/>, L<i2p|http://www.i2p2.de/>, | |

294 The whole concept behind AnoNet is that it's whatever you make it. |
| 185 | 295 Of course, that's not to say you'll have to build everything from |
| 296 scratch, but if you want to be happy here, you're best off bringing | |
| 297 your creativity along rather than leaving it behind when you join. | |
| 298 (If you've been around darknets before, you're probably quite familiar | |
| 299 with "design by committee." On AnoNet, you're more than welcome to | |
| 300 invite a committee to discuss anything you want, but you don't have to | |
| 203 | 301 organize one before doing anything. If (you think) you already know |
| 302 what you're doing, just "build it and they will come.") | |

| 345 | |
| 346 Well, each of us has his own wishlist, but most of us are working on | |
| 347 moving stuff from our TODO lists to our DONE lists, so you're looking | |
| 203 | 348 at a bit of a moving (and highly subjective) target. You're more than |
| 349 welcome to contribute anything you want, and if it's interesting and/or | |
| 350 useful, it'll probably attract a following. That said, here are a number | |
| 351 of things that would benefit the AnoNet as a whole: | |

| 354 | |
| 355 =item Client Ports | |
| 356 | |
| 357 When a new user wants to connect, he'll normally come in through a | |
| 358 client port. The more client ports are available, the harder it is for | |
| 359 any individual client port to abuse its position (for example, if the | |
| 360 local government decides to try regulating it). | |
| 361 | |
| 362 =item Public Email Services | |
| 363 | |
| 203 | 364 Currently, every AnoNet user who wants an email address on AnoNet has to |
| 365 set up his own mailserver. AnoNet1 used to have a public email service so | |
| 366 people could get email addresses without running their own mail servers, | |
| 367 but it hasn't been online in nearly a year (although AnoNet1 continues to | |
| 368 advertise it). SRN is working on setting up such an animal on AnoNet2, | |
| 369 but competition here is a good thing. | |
