usability strategy : plugins and a revamped front page

I think its clear that many users are installing Freenet, and not
understanding what they can do once its up and running.

I think we need to address this by integrating some simple but
powerful plugins into Fproxy, and making the front page of Fproxy as
simple as clear as possible to show the user what they can do from
there.  This will include surfing Freenet itself, and perhaps a
discussion tool (similar to FMS but integrated into FProxy).

It would also be really nice if FMS could be easier to install (ie.
much easier than compiling from source) - it would be great if someone
could set up a Google Code project for it, for example.

Would anyone be interested in putting together mock-ups of what they
think the FProxy front page should look like?

Ian.
