= About =

The volunteergrid is a tahoe storage grid from users for users. Contrary to the TestGrid–which may be flushed at any time for development/testing reasons–the volunteergrid is meant as a stable alternative to the commercial [http://allmydata.com/ allmydata.com grid]. It was [http://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2009-February/001248.html proposed by Eugene L.] in February 2009 and an introducer [http://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2009-February/001341.html was set up] by Zooko after the idea received a fair amount of praise. This introducer unfortunately died when nooxie's upgrade went wrong. A [http://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2009-December/003290.html new, more resilient, introducer] was implemented by [mailto:francois(at)ctrlaltdel.ch François Deppierraz] in December 2009.

There are usually between 15 and 20 active servers. Volunteergrid is not accepting new members at this time.


= Best practices =
 * If you destroy data (by accident or decision), let us know! Please inform us on the mailing list or ping us on IRC.
 * Please provide at least as much space as you use. (Don't forget to consider the redundancy factor: If you upload 1 GB of data, the grid will receive 3.33 GB of encoded data (3-of-10 encoding = 10/3 x file size = 3.33 x file size).)

== Introducer == 

The introducer's address and FURL is secret.

In the unfortunate case where the current introducer would disappear, the following people should be able to bring it back into life: Zooko, Brian Warner. Ask on the mailing list or contact them directly.
