A question asked by erniejunior in #tahoe-lafs inspired this choice. erniejunior asked "hi guys short question. is tahoe as secure and anonymous as freenet? what are the differences?" So we created ticket 1427_ to answer this question in FAQ.rst. "Freenet is free software which lets you anonymously share files, browse and publish "freesites" (web sites accessible only through Freenet) and chat on forums, without fear of censorship. Freenet is decentralised to make it less vulnerable to attack, and if used in "darknet" mode, where users only connect to their friends, is very difficult to detect."

Shu Lin and sickness discussed running Tahoe as a `Windows service`_. Greg Troxel posted the paper_, "Cost-Bandwidth Tradeoff In Distributed Storage Systems" by Soroush Akhlaghi, Abbas Kiani and Mohammad Reza Ghanavati. Renat Garaev announced he made a `Live CD`_ with Tahoe-LAFS on it. Zooko and bertagaz discussed the problem of `multiple introducers`_ (distributed introduction). Ticket 68_ has a patch for this. The patch needs a unit to simulate the Myckel's Tahoe-LAFS grid's issue. I volunteered to write patch for 1420_. .. _`Windows service`: http://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2011-July/006528.html .. _`Live CD`: http://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2011-July/006527.html .. _`multiple introducers`: http://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2011-July/006532.html .. _68: http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/68 .. _paper: http://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2011-July/006544.html Patch Needing Review of the Week ================================ The Patch Needing Review of the Week is 1420_. I understand this is a little premature, the patch won't be out until tomorrow. However, this will be my first patch for Tahoe-LAFS. This patch will add a man page for tahoe as written by bertagaz. I am really looking forward to writing this patch. .. _1420: http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1420 ---- *The Tahoe-LAFS Weekly News is published once a week by The Tahoe-LAFS Software Foundation, President and Treasurer: Peter Secor.
