We also need to have people creating the documentation. 

As far as I remember there were blank parts in the wiki for about a year - 
noone filled them in, even though they were about parts implemented in most 
clients. 

I would prefer the LimeWire people doing the documentation, sure. They are the 
ones who wrote Mojito, and they should know the internals. 

But we can't just look at them and be angry that they didn't provide it for us 
for free. 

Yes, it would be nice, if the specification were complete and in a format that 
can be translated into competing clients (yes, bluntly spoken, that's what 
gtk-gnutella, phex and all the others are), but I for one am glad to see, 
that they provide mostly complete documentation. 

And to me it sounded like "Please post your questions, we'd love to answer 
them!" 

(Maybe even in here, so this list gets used for discussions about improving 
Gnutella again?)

Best wishes, 
Arne
