Welcome to allmydata.org "Tahoe": a secure, decentralized, 
fault-tolerant filesystem. All of the source code is available 
under a Free Software, Open Source licence.

This filesystem is encrypted and spread over multiple peers in 
such a way that it remains available even when some of the 
peers are unavailable, malfunctioning, or malicious.

[http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/about.html The Overview] explains the unique properties of this system.

The current version is targeted at hackers, and users who are
willing to use command-line tools or a hacker-oriented web user 
interface.

== Get Started ==
[http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/install.html Installing Tahoe] tells how to install the software, how to run a node than can upload and download files, and how to set up your own private grid or connect to the public test grid.

== Get Involved ==
[http://allmydata.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev The tahoe-dev mailing list] is the community forum for discussion of Tahoe design, implementation, and usage.

[wiki:Dev The Dev page] is the place to start hacking on Tahoe.  It has development tools (such as code coverage and patch browsing) and documentation.
