Greetings, Toby Murray! Welcome!
Thanks for the kind words. > It seems strange to require an unguessable (F)URL to join the grid > but not one to consume space on it. You're right. We have detailed plans to implement fine-grained, decentralized, efficient, delegatable, auditable control of the usage of space. I think Brian intends to start on implementing it as soon as Tahoe-1.3.0 is released. But in the meantime, it sure would make sense to have a way to give people read-only access to a grid as a whole. One hack would be to use the fact that HTTP GETs can't be used to cause side-effects on Tahoe. If you give someone access to a web proxy which passes GETs through but rejects PUTs, POSTs, and DELETEs, then they'll have read-only access to the whole grid. Perhaps something like that should be included in Tahoe itself -- I'm not sure. Patches, documentation, etc. welcome!
