Bug report: The web site is unclear about the naming. This is confusing and puts people off getting involved in either bit of software or the project in general.

Please add something friendly to the website which makes it absolutely clear, for people from the future, what the different networks, bits of software and projects are. Any form of confusion in this will

Quick summary for those not involved (like myself) according to my understanding:

Until 2023 there was one peer to peer network which was called freenet by everyone and had been created by the "Freenet Project". That peer to peer network has been renamed Hyphanet.

At the same time the Freenet Project, owners of this website started working on a new piece of software, which at the time was called "Locutus". Locutus has now become the primary project of the Freenet Project.
