The People Behind Freenet

Note: This may be an incomplete list, a large number of people have contributed to the project. Contributors are responsible for adding themselves along with a brief biography to this list.

Freenet is based on Ian's paper "A Distributed Decentralised Information Storage and Retrieval System". Ian started the Freenet Project around July of 1999, and continues to coordinate the project.

Brandon Wiley

Brandon was the first to contribute to the Freenet project, and is responsible for much of the code that went into Freenet 0.1. Brandon has since moved on to pastures new, and is no longer directly involved in Freenet.

Oskar Sandberg

Oskar was also one of the earliest contributors to the Freenet project, and continues to play a core role in ongoing development.

Scott Miller

Scott is responsible for the implementation of much of the cryptography elements within Freenet.
