[Darknet-tools] idea for freenet

[Matthew Toseland]

There have been a number of proposals for fully distributed virtual worlds. I 
suggest you implement one. :) It wouldn't be Freenet - it's a different 
problem domain, it does radically different things - but it could be 
interesting. I don't have time to fish out the reference right now, but there 
was a paper about it a while ago.
