Comment (by zooko):

 Wow. What an awesome roadmap for a comprehensive description. Too avoid
 being too intimidating, I suggest that each of those bullet points in turn
 would make a document complete enough that it could be added to the repo
 and published. :-) We already have the first one!

 * diagram of client, gateway, servers: http://tahoe-lafs.org/~zooko
 /network-and-reliance-topology.png

 How about the second one?

 * coarse dataflow of (file goes to gateway, gateway creates shares, shares
 go to servers), and back again: http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-
 lafs/browser/trunk/docs/architecture.rst ? http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac
 /tahoe-lafs/raw-attachment/wiki/News/tahoe-RSA-slides.pdf ?
 http://bigasterisk.com/tahoe-playground/ ?

 Okay, so the next step on this ticket is to select some extant documents
 and update them or write new documents to serve as the first and second
 bullet points.
