(1) Darknet invitation bundles: Feature for adding a single use node
    reference to an installer executable. People could hand out the
    installer executable to their friends to allow them to connect by
    Darknet instantly.
    See https://bugs.freenetproject.org/view.php?id=166#c11290
    (an overview of the requirements and options for invites)
    and https://bugs.freenetproject.org/view.php?id=1342
    ("create a bundle installer")

(2) Fix the installers (windows first, then packages for linux)
    See https://bugs.freenetproject.org/view.php?id=1276
    and https://bugs.freenetproject.org/view.php?id=1275
    and https://bugs.freenetproject.org/view.php?id=5892
    and linked issues.

Ideas? Can we start by putting up an offer in Freenet-internal channels?

How much money should we offer?

Best wishes,
Arne
