Adding more index sites
We should add some more index sites. Currently we only have the Darknet Index: USK <at> PFeLTa1si2Ml5sDeUy7eDhPso6TPdmw-2gWfQ4Jg02w,3ocfrqgUMVWA2PeorZx40TW0c-FiIOL-TWKQHoDbVdE,AQABAAE/Index/40/index.html The problem with this is it hasn't been updated in ages. There is the public index (which is always up to date, it seems), but IMHO it would be unwise to link to something which is globally writable; somebody may replace it with a redirect to the goat man, or worse, in the middle of us being /.ed or doing a major release. USK <at> 60I8H8HinpgZSOuTSD66AVlIFAy-xsppFr0YCzCar7c,NzdivUGCGOdlgngOGRbbKDNfSCnjI0FXjHLzJM4xkJ4,AQABAAE/index/83/ Then there is Indicia. This has activelinks, but offensive activelinks are censored. It has descriptions for every site, although some of them are ambiguous, and it is categorised. And it's updated regularly. A first time user browsing Indicia will only run into porn if they want it, and as far as I can see there is no outrageous child porn at the moment, and even if there was it would almost certainly be labelled properly.

This is uncensored, no pictures, with no manual descriptions, although it may be manually categorised. The problem is that on the Porn section it links to a site called "kp", without explaining the (sadly well-known amongst freenet users) acronym. USK <at> e4TEIN5l1nkn6kjl63XBgYTYobmwGvtnyK2YW0b0ajo,hv-2~OfetXkb0FhDuPxorWIf0wXeZKPEfdIhwyh-mhk,AQABAAE/AnotherIndex/27/ Which of these should we put on our homepage? Ian has stated that our policy must be to link to those indexes which will best help users to(Continue reading)
