-['*' means complete]

-Connection Management:
-*v1: foolscap, no relay, live=connected-to-introducer, broadcast updates, fully connected topology
-*v2: configurable IP address -- http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/ticket/22
- v3: live != connected-to-introducer, connect on demand
- v4: decentralized introduction -- http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/ticket/68
- v5: relay?
-
-File Encoding:
-*v1: single-segment, no merkle trees
-*v2: multiple-segment (LFE)
-*v3: merkle tree to verify each share
-*v4: merkle tree to verify each segment
-*v5: merkle tree on plaintext and crypttext: incremental validation
- v6: only retrieve the minimal number of hashes instead of all of them
-
-Share Encoding:
-*v1: fake it (replication)
-*v2: PyRS
-*v2.5: ICodec-based codecs, but still using replication
-*v3: C-based Reed-Solomon
-
-URI:
-*v1: really big
-*v2: store URI Extension with shares
-*v3: derive storage index from readkey
- v4: perhaps derive more information from version and filesize, to remove
-     codec_name, codec_params, tail_codec_params, needed_shares,
-     total_shares, segment_size from the URI Extension
-
-Upload Peer Selection:
-*v1: permuted peer list, consistent hash
-*v2: permute peers by verifierid and arrange around ring, intermixed with
-     shareids on the same range, each share goes to the
-     next-clockwise-available peer
- v3: reliability/goodness-point counting?
- v4: denver airport (chord)?
-
-Download Peer Selection:
-*v1: ask all peers
- v2: permute peers and shareids as in upload, ask next-clockwise peers first
-     (the "A" list), if necessary ask the ones after them, etc.
- v3: denver airport?
-
-Directory/Filesystem Maintenance:
-*v1: vdrive-based tree of MutableDirectoryNodes, persisted to vdrive's disk
-     no accounts
-*v2: single-host dirnodes, one tree per user, plus one global mutable space
-*v3: distributed storage for dirnodes
- v4: maintain file manifest, delete on remove
- v5: figure out accounts, users, quotas, snapshots, versioning, etc
-
-Checker/Repairer:
-*v1: none
- v1.5: maintain file manifest
- v2: centralized checker, repair agent
- v3: nodes also check their own files
-
-Storage:
-*v1: no deletion, one directory per verifierid, no owners of shares,
-     leases never expire
-*v2: multiple shares per verifierid [zooko]
-*v3: disk space limits on storage servers -- ticket #34
- v4: deletion
- v5: leases expire, delete expired data on demand, multiple owners per share
-
-UI:
-*v1: readonly webish (nevow, URLs are filepaths)
-*v2: read/write webish, mkdir, del (files)
-*v2.5: del (directories)
-*v3: CLI tool.
- v4: FUSE (linux) -- http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/ticket/36
- v5: WebDAV
-
-Operations/Deployment/Doc/Free Software/Community:
- - move this file into the wiki ?
-
-back pocket ideas:
- when nodes are unable to reach storage servers, make a note of it, inform
- verifier/checker eventually. verifier/checker then puts server under
- observation or otherwise looks for differences between their self-reported
- availability and the experiences of others
-
- store filetable URI in the first 10 peers that appear after your own nodeid
- each entry has a sequence number, maybe a timestamp
- on recovery, find the newest
-
- multiple categories of leases:
-  1: committed leases -- we will not delete these in any case, but will instead
-     tell an uploader that we are full
-   1a: active leases
-   1b: in-progress leases (partially filled, not closed, pb connection is
-       currently open)
-  2: uncommitted leases -- we will delete these in order to make room for new
-     lease requests
-   2a: interrupted leases (partially filled, not closed, pb connection is
-       currently not open, but they might come back)
-   2b: expired leases
-
-  (I'm not sure about the precedence of these last two. Probably deleting
-  expired leases instead of deleting interrupted leases would be okay.)
-
-big questions:
- convergence?
- peer list maintenance: lots of entries
