[tahoe-dev] new test grid with secure, decentralized mutable files and directories

[zooko]

Folks:

The next version of tahoe with secure, decentralized mutable files  
and directories (as well as with many other improvements) will  
probably be released this coming week.

You can see from The Roadmap [1] what further work needs to be done  
for this release -- it is mostly documentation.

I have set up a new test grid running the current source code.  There  
are two publically usable web gateways into the new test grid:

http://tahoebs1.allmydata.com:8123

http://nooxie.zooko.com:8123

If you want to set up a node and connect to this grid, just copy the  
Introducer field from the Welcome Page of one of those web gateways.

The new version of tahoe no longer has a "global public vdrive" on  
the front page.  However, here is read-write access to a secure  
decentralized directory that I just created:

http://nooxie.zooko.com:8123/uri/URI%3ADIR2% 
3Au1doxkn67shhi8jrnm4a4m5rhc% 
3Aht4xztp7poyujbjzzugnrdie7b11sy4e717nb4ppga5bbstu99ry/

You can of course replace "nooxie.zooko.com" with  
"tahoebs1.allmydata.com" and get access to the same decentralized  
directory.  If you install the latest darcs version of tahoe yourself  
then you can replace "nooxie.zooko.com" with "localhost".

Regards,

Zooko
