I always think it's a shame that they don't release binaries.
Yeah sure, it technically "works on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, OS X and W32", but without binaries, they'll barely get more than a few users. I really like that they continue to improve the technological underpinnings of the software, but there's a reason a lot of people use the tor network. There is a bundle that they can just download, start and it helps them connect.
I guess they DO see themselves as a "framework", but there is a GTK UI and there is a "regular" filesharing component to it

- Ihmahr 13y agoAlso notice how bitcoin and litecoin were introduced with a great gui. They sure picked up.

- jordigh 13y agoReleasing binaries is a lot more work. You can tell other people to do the work, sure, but this telling is unlikely to accomplish more than some doing. Consider making a donation towards binaries, perhaps of build servers or Windows licenses so that this can be done. GNU projects are funded by the FSF, so a donation to the FSF along with a request for binaries carries a lot of weight. Of course, the most weight is carried by a code contribution. Help GNUnet make those binaries!
