Cool!

Be sure and read the comments, too.

This sort of high-level introduction is an opportunity to notice some  
important issues which are important partly because newcomers might  
misunderstand them or might think that they are more important than  
we old hands do.

For example, this article focusses on the centralized introducer, and  
the comment by "thraxil" incorrectly describes repair as automated,  
and (correctly ?) says that installation is too difficult and that a  
working apt-get is desperately needed.  And hey thraxil, whoever and  
where-ever you are, what's this about a django front-end?  http:// 
allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/wiki/RelatedProjects  :-)
