Views into the process of Tahoe-LAFS hackery.
 * The Roadmap page (linked at the top of each page) shows the next planned release and what improvements and bugfixes we are working on.
 * [wiki:Doc The User Doc page]

== Source Code (via revision control) ==

 * Darcs checkout:
     {{{darcs get --lazy http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/trunk tahoe-lafs}}}
 * [https://github.com/warner/tahoe-lafs git checkout] (EXPERIMENTAL!) announced [http://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2010-October/005408.html here]:
     {{{git clone git://github.com/warner/tahoe-lafs.git}}}

== Dependencies ==

 * Copies of libraries that Tahoe-LAFS is dependent on are at [http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/deps/].
 * The [http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/deps/tahoe-dep-eggs tahoe-dep-eggs] subdirectory has precompiled "egg" packages (scroll to the bottom for a matrix of platforms and Python versions for each package).


== Community ==

 * [/../../cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev The tahoe-dev mailing list] is the community forum for discussion of Tahoe-LAFS design, implementation, and usage.
 * Tahoe-LAFS hackers chat on [irc://irc.freenode.net/%23tahoe-lafs irc.freenode.net in channel #tahoe-lafs]. This channel is archived at [http://fred.submusic.ch/irc/tahoe-lafs/] .
 * [source:CREDITS The CREDITS file] contains names people who have contributed to the Tahoe-LAFS project.
 * [wiki:RelatedProjects The RelatedProjects page] has extensions to Tahoe-LAFS and integrations of Tahoe-LAFS with other open source software.

== Extensions ==

 * Tahoe-LAFS has a programmatic API which enables building custom applications on top of the storage infrastructure.
 * The [source:docs/frontends/webapi.rst] document shows how to control a Tahoe-LAFS node programmatically over HTTP.
 * [wiki:Extensions The Extension Page] has some additional tips on how to use the web-API.

== Developer Docs ==
 * [source:docs/ the docs/ directory] <-- most core doc is in the source tree here
 * [wiki:Capabilities]: what are readcaps and writecaps and verifycaps, etc
 * [wiki:PatchReviewProcess How to review patches] <-- You can help!
 * [wiki:Patches How to submit patches]
 * [wiki:CodingStandards coding standards]
 * [wiki:Ostrom] is about how social networking and economics interact with distributed storage
 * [wiki:Packaging The Packaging page] shows our current policy for how to re-use 3rd-party libraries and how to distribute Tahoe-LAFS to users.
 * [wiki:OneHundredYearCryptography]
