<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=3 face=Verdana>Thanks, there may be two reasons
about why I want to study the source code: first, I want to learn
some knowledge from the source code and improve my ability on study at the

it.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>> As the subject said, I want to learn the tahoe's source code, but I am a novice and do not know how to get a start, could you give me some advises to study the souce code? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Have you already read the developer documents? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/Dev#DeveloperDocs </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A good starting place in the docs is architecture.rst: </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/browser/trunk/docs/architecture.rst </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>After that, there is not yet a "roadmap to the source code", but there </DIV>
<DIV>is a ticket where we have written down some ideas about what such a </DIV>
<DIV>thing would contain: </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1374 </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here's an idea: </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To dive into the source code start at the server side. The Tahoe-LAFS </DIV>
<DIV>storage server is prevented by the architecture from knowing anything </DIV>
<DIV>about the encryption/decryption or integrity-checking. And, it doesn't </DIV>
<DIV>know anything about the erasure coding. Therefore, it has less </DIV>
<DIV>complexity than the Tahoe-LAFS gateway does, and it is easier to read </DIV>
<DIV>the whole source code and understand what it does. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To understand everything that the storage server does, you would need </DIV>
<DIV>to read the files in this directory: </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/browser/trunk/src/allmydata/storage/ </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Han Zheng: why do you want to study the Tahoe-LAFS source code? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards, </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
