| 55 | 50 You don't have to worry about risc g-lining you from the "official" IRC |
| 51 network for no apparent reason, and refusing to even admit to having | |
| 52 g-lined you. Since the whole purpose behind AnoNet was to create a | |
| 53 censorship-resistant alternative to the government-censored "public" | |
| 54 Internet, arbitrary censorship on the "official" AnoNet1 IRC network by | |
| 55 anonymous government members is particularly troubling. AnoNet2 has | |
| 56 no "official" IRC network, and the servers most commonly used have | |
| 57 interesting channels bridged with a relay bot, so even if you manage to | |
| 58 annoy an IRC server operator to the point where he decides to g-line you | |
| 59 from his whole "network," that doesn't automatically prevent you from | |
| 60 connecting to another server and accessing one of the bridged channels. | |
| 61 (Obviously, if you manage to annoy the operators of all the linked servers | |
| 62 to the point where all of them g-line you from their respective "networks" | |
| 63 and nobody wants to let you relay your own server in, then you're probably | |
| 64 out of luck. Of course, that doesn't prevent you from running your own | |
| 65 IRC server, and those who want to hear you can still join it.) | |

| 282 | |
| 283 Well, each of us has his own wishlist, but most of us are working on | |
| 284 moving stuff from our TODO lists to our DONE lists, so you're looking | |
| 285 at a bit of a moving target. You're more than welcome to contribute | |
| 286 anthing you want, and if it's interesting and/or useful, it'll probably | |
| 287 attract a following. That said, here are a number of things that would | |
| 288 benefit the AnoNet as a whole: | |

| 292 =item Client Ports | |
| 293 | |
| 294 When a new user wants to connect, he'll normally come in through a | |
| 295 client port. The more client ports are available, the harder it is for | |
| 296 any individual client port to abuse its position (for example, if the | |
| 297 local government decides to try regulating it). | |
| 298 | |
| 299 =item Public Email Services | |
| 300 | |
| 301 Currently, every AnoNet user who wants an email address on AnoNet has | |
| 302 to set up his own mailserver. AnoNet1 used to have a public email | |
| 303 service so people could get email addresses without running their own | |
| 304 mail servers, but it hasn't been online in nearly a year (although the | |
| 305 AnoNet1 Web continues to advertise it). SRN is working on setting up | |
| 306 such an animal on AnoNet2, but competition here is a good thing. | |
