= Tips and Tricks =

Tahoe-LAFS can be integrated into several other tools simply by adjusting some configuration settings. These include iCal, Bazaar, Perforce, and git-annex:

 * [wiki:TipsTricks The Tips and Tricks page]

= Spin-off Projects =

These are projects that are currently primarily maintained by Tahoe-LAFS developers.

 * [http://foolscap.lothar.com/trac foolscap]
 * [http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/zfec zfec]
 * [http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/pycryptopp pycryptopp]
 * [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyutil pyutil]

= Dependencies =

We are fortunate to have a vast library of high quality Free Software that we can re-use to build Tahoe-LAFS.  We contribute patches and bug reports back to these projects.  The following list is incomplete -- see also [source:src/allmydata/_auto_deps.py].

 * Python
 * Twisted
 * gcc
 * Nevow
 * setuptools
 * OpenSSL

= Other Projects =

These projects have no specific relationship with our project, but they are similar in some ways and so may be of interest.  We sometimes exchange ideas with the developers of some of these projects, especially on the [http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers p2p-hackers mailing list].

 * [http://www.kitten-technologies.co.uk/project.php?project=ugarit Ugarit] is a storage system inspired by Venti and implemented in Chicken Scheme. Immature—it currently can't use a remote backend, only a local POSIX filesystem. licence: BSD
 * [http://gnunet.org GNUnet] is an anonymous, censorship-resistant, file-sharing network. licence: GPLv2+
 * [http://camlistore.org/ Camlistore] is a distributed data store plus some ideas about synchronization, sharing, and modelling.  licence: Apache
 * [http://git-scm.com/ git] is a decentralized revision control tool. No wait! It is a beautiful decentralized data store with a grotesque revision control tool built on top. (Zooko takes full responsibility for this careless slander.)  licence: GPLv2
 * [http://freenetproject.org FreeNet] is a long-running project to make a decentralized and censorship-resistant file-sharing network.  licence: GPLv2

= Perhaps Somewhat Influenced By Tahoe-LAFS (or maybe very much inspired by Tahoe-LAFS) =

 * [http://noncombatant.org/octavia/ Octavia] is a new distributed filesystem inspired by Tahoe-LAFS and intended to improve on Tahoe-LAFS in performance and usability. It is very new and not yet usable except for experimentation.  licence: GPL
 * [http://code.google.com/p/nilestore/ Nilestore] is a secure and fault tolerant distributed storage system built using [http://kompics.sics.se/ Kompics] component model framework following the design of Tahoe-LAFS. currently it implements the immutable file upload and download.
