ZeroNet actually comes very close to a completely decentralized web. The 
sites aren't static, they are very dynamic, modern looking, with 
JavaScript and css. ZeroNet sites aren't censorable. User comments 
propagate to everybody and are automatically displayed in the real time. 
Their mail is also fully distributed. Every site is controlled by 
somebody, but everything has to be controlled by some entities. Nothing 
is really self-organizing. You can also clone any site, including 
ZeroMail, and control the clone yourself. As for the Freenet and Gnunet, 
they both are very much dead. I think ZeroNet is among the best recently 
emerged technologies.
