Riseup, the secure e-mail and mail list provider

Mmmm, while it sounds interesting, I am surprised at several things they have not implemented:

1 CDN or mirror service to lessen the load. There are free ones:

2. P2P software for distributing content across a mesh network between the multiple servers (e.g. Gnunet & Freenet). Distributed Filesystems also work:

3. Other communication than Jabber. Proper recommended secure channels are SILC, OTR, and now Beta secushare:

The VPN is nice although. I wish STOMP was used more instead of PYSC. I still love IRC. It would also be awesome if they had a mini USENET, that would sell me over to volunteer.

From what I can tell, their problem isn't web related, a CDN or P2P software isn't going to do much when you are delivering mail.

SILC and OTR? The former being a unmaintained nightmare, and the later something that is client related and not something they would "implement"?
