Hi tahoe dev folk,<div><br></div><div>I've just discovered your project and I *love* the look of it. I want to kick the tyres but I need a grid first to test it out. Is there a developer / user grid that is mature enough to use? I can contribute up to about 500GB at this stage and I'd use around 30GB myself (+ 70GB for coded blocks?). My machine's poorly connected speed-wise (ADSL, 1.5MB/sec down, 150KB/sec up) but always available. If there's no such network avaialble, I'll try to hunt down 3-4 friends to help test it. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Quick about me: </div><div><br></div><div>I've been slowly working away on the foundation layers of something similar to Tahoe (<a href="https://github.com/aarond10/rawdishfs">https://github.com/aarond10/rawdishfs</a>) for months now as a way of both backing up and sharing wedding and family photos but found I have been spending more time on the base libraries (<a href="https://github.com/aarond10/epoll_threadpool">https://github.com/aarond10/epoll_threadpool</a>) than on actual implementation. Tahoe-lafs seems like it has similar aims to what I eventually hoped to build. I made the decision to go with C++ after discovering how slow python's FUSE library was (the global interpreter lock is probably to blame) but that has really slowed me down and while I don't really want to throw away my hard work, I do feel like I've been reinventing the wheel so I'm much rather join forces with like-minded developers. I originally prototyped the basics of my implementation in foolscap and I've looked at zfec so I already know a little about those already so I can hopefully be handy contributing code once I'm up to speed. </div>
