I tried something like that back in the days of "larch".
http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~conrad/Archives/DSDiF/index.html
Basically, the idea was to host larch archives within freenet.
The proof-of-concept worked, but then tla was born, and somehow
the project fell asleep...
The only thing that's really needed for hosting arch archives
in freenet is an efficient way to mirror local archives into
freenet and vice versa.
Bye,
Peter
