Sure thing!

Ah, then just share the dircap. Anyone who knows the dircap (and has the
mechanical ability to use the grid it lives on) can modify that
directory. Anyone who doesn't know the dircap cannot. Tahoe's filecaps
and dircaps are specifically designed to be easily shareable by
cut-and-paste via email or IM or whatever.

In practical terms, once both Alice and Bob are connecting to the same
grid (as described in my previous message), have them both execute:

 tahoe add-alias shared URI:DIR2:...

After that, they'll both be able to do "tahoe ls shared:" or "tahoe cp
foo.txt shared:foo.txt" and be touching the same directory.
