What is the deal?

Hi there,

I'm bakr_2k5 as I'm 'known' on the internet.
I have had some reads on posts here on the forum and a few on Google groups. Now I feel like I want to participate on this project, though I have very little experience in detecting SPAM and such but that should be helped by some research. And I'm not a GOOD programmer too, well I work with some C++ but I know my way around I guess. Though never ever did something useful whatsoever.

Anyway I have some questions:

  • Will the client side run as extensions / hacks to browsers? Or as an 'one' program with optional plug-in support?
  • Will the client side be based on the code from Blue Frog?
  • What will do the 'work' like detecting SPAM, hashing or whatever SPAM etc, the Client side or Server Side?
  • Are there any programmers working on something right now, that you're aware off?
  • I this whole project still alive or almost called dead?
  • What about leadership? We / You can't really do anything with some kind of leader, who coordinates everything and such.
  • Are there any standards on paper for this project? Ok you have that paper thing, but that's more like wild ideas you have I think.

Well I could go on for a while but I think this is enough for now. Just trying to get some view on this!

EDIT: Oh, never mind the participate part :) I just saw that BIG list of developers on the wiki!
