Quoting Bill Pringlemeir <[email protected]> from ml.gnutella.dev-forum:
:The bootstrap is really lacking.  Really people have to have the LW source and
:the message format document.  There is really not much else that is helpful.

I don't want to look at LW's sources, or any other servent source code for
that matter, to be able to implement something that is meant to be "standard"
on the Gnutella network.  We need to have good documentation.

:I did patch barracuda a little to get some GGEP info from LimeWire nodes.  It
:seems that a bit that is supposed to be 0/1 is actually 0/2 (active or passive).

"It seems", "is supposed".  Yeah, great specification work! :-)

:Anyways, this is the key information for bootstrapping.  Ie, you sniff the
:regular gnutella GGEP traffic for the DHT info which gives you a population of
:nodes to correspond with.

I don't want to sniff or reverse engineer the protocol to second guess what
is supposed to be happening.  I want documentation (functional specifications).

:I was really wishing to make gtkg a passive node so that if it is an ultra, it
:would support LW leafs who are full participants in the mojito network. 
:However, I was expecting the wiki to get updated.  This was last summer.

Yes, last summer I wanted to implement the DHT.  Then looking at the state
of the documentation and not being really motivated by reverse engineering
LW's code, I gave up.
