Description (last modified by zooko)

Just now on IRC there was a discussion about creating a storage node. A new user was confused and couldn't wrap his head around the general setup of a tahoe grid.

As zooko stated, tahoe isn't really sure about whether it's a p2p or a client-server protocol, since nodes can have multiple roles as of now.

One outcome was the suggestion to have a "tahoe create-storage". This term would be less shallow and explicitly state what kind of node is created.
