Re: Re: Why competing Gnutella clients help LimeWire

Just FYI, those conversations don't have anything to do with Mojito.
But, Yes, we do try to keep things documented and talk with people...
but sadly it's not always possible.  Making the network work and
documenting the network are two independently difficult things.  When
the network changes, the documents require changing, and so we've
unfortunately let the documentation slip in an effort to keep the
network working.  We just don't have the resources right now to chat,
document, and write code.  If anyone wants to come work at LimeWire
and help, let us know. :)
