 It would be useful for the VolunteerGrid if users could add some metadata
 to announcements, e.g. storage node location, contact information or notes
 about the connectivity. This would probably also help to implement the
 idea in ticket #642.

 {{{
 [21:21] <zooko> Ooh, I want a way to put metadata into the
 announcement, next to the "nickname" so that we can, if we choose,
 put geographic location in there.  :-)
 [21:22] <soultcer> I added a table at
 http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/wiki/VolunteerGrid but metadata
 for storage node announcements sounds easier to maintain and more
 fun. Maybe you can add not only a location node but also a contact
 node, in case we need to contact node owners.
