| ==Summary==
| |
| It has been suggested to create a P2P interface for Wikipedia - that is, a network daemon that will monitor P2P queries over a specific network, and suggest and provide Wikipedia articles relating to the query. A more lengthy explanation may be found at ''[[Gnutella]]''.

| ''Whether you favor or oppose providing a P2P interface.''

| ==Networks==
| |
| ''Discussion on the pros and cons of various P2P networks. Feel free to add networks to the list and enter your opinion of networks already found in the list (taking care to sign your posts). A list of Peer-to-Peer networks and clients may be found at [[en:Peer-to-peer#Peer-to-Peer networks/protocols and applications]].''

| *True, Gnutella was never meant for distribution of information such as Wikipedia articles, and is much fragmented (not to mention antique), but one cannot deny the fact that it is still extremely popular. Provided no better alternative presents itself, I support the use of Gnutella. -- [[User:Itai|Itai]] 14:03, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

| ===[[en:Freenet|Freenet]]===
| |
| *I don't think Freenet will do. While it is more cleverly designed - and much more impressive - than Gnutella, I have yet to see proof that it properly functions. In addition, Freenet files are not shared - it is my understanding that they are uploaded and distributed across the network, eventually erased if uncalled for. Obviously, this solution cannot be used for Wikipedia articles. -- [[User:Itai|Itai]] 14:03, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

| *The option I find I most appealing at the moment. I have yet to master the technique, but it sounds just like Wikipedia needs. -- [[User:Itai|Itai]] 16:21, 17 Apr 2004 (UTC)

| ==Clients==
| |
| ''Suggest GNU- or similarly-licensed clients from whose code the Wikipedia P2P daemon will be devised and discuss their relative advantages and disadvantages. Many clients can be found at [http://SourceForge.net/] and [http://freshmeat.net/].''
