[freenet-support] www.minihowto.org find freenet too difficult for endusers, documentation needs to be shortened

[niel]

:-)
I am writing some minihowtos for linux newbies, and have also written about 
freenet.
I find the documentation on "http://freenetproject.org/documentation.html" 
very good, but also confusing about some important points, like "connect" 
and "darknet" (just two important examples).
I have freenet running (I think), but do not get much downloaded.

My point is to make a quick manual, which is made for newbies, using only 
simple everyday words and phrases.
I am only speaking on behalf of freenet NEWBIES, who want to experience/go to 
the freenet, and surf, and fetch stuff, and I have read, that most people 
only spend short time on websites, when surfing (human impatience). *humour*
I would like to make such a quick manual, but I cannot find my way to get the 
information I need.

I made a manual, and freenet took the link away, without explaining exact to 
my brain, what had to be changed/updated.
I have updated, but are unsure of what I have done.
For me, it is important to get explanations about terms, which are not evident 
to newbies.
What I can offer is the mind of a newbie, to communicate with the minds of the 
developers!
I made a manual, but would like to make it even better and easier to 
understand.

Another possibility is you to update your documentation, and remove 
unnecessary text (if needed?).

This is a friendly mail, hoping to get my problem sorted out?

Happy New Near to all you brave people out there.
