[tahoe-dev] thinking of moving my klog from the Test Grid to the Volunteer Grid

[Peter Secor]

Maybe we can repurpose the test grid boxes to the volunteer grid. As a 
representative of Allmydata.com, I can volunteer them for the grid, but 
before I do so I'd want to make sure they could be maintained by 
volunteers as well. Ideas on how to effect that transition are welcome.
