How about a survey with a bunch of questions on which feeds into a
google docs spreadsheet? I've used google forms to carry out
"applications" for before and I reckon it would be easy to setup a
simple survey.

However a list of questions might be needed to be agreed upon. At
minimum questions like this might be asked ....

* Are you participating in a private or public grid?
* Do you run a Storage or Introducer Node or Both?
* Is your (Non-client) node a dedicated host with a high uptime (>95%)?
* What is the small disk in your cluster
* What is the biggest disk in your cluster
* What is the average size of the disks
* How many nodes are in your cluster
* Your Value of N used (total number of nodes)
* Your Value of H used (servers of happiness)
* Your Value of k used (minimum number of shares required to recover the data)
* If tahoe-lafs didn't exist, what would your alternatives be (e.g.
GPG'd files put into LOCKSS or GlusterFS or PLACE DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM
HERE...)

There might be a need to do two slightly different set of questions,
one for grid operators and clients. The above is just food for thought
for now, I'd be willing to setup a google form for running a survey if
there is interest.

Jimmy.
