In the case that a new user is installing a client node with the preconceived intent of user some elses' introducer, s/he might (as I did) skip the documentation concerning the introducer. If this occurs s/he might be confused as to the nature of the "introducer.furl" (as I was). Hopefully this will preempt this error. Since, the furl address is now _also_ referred to in the tahoe.cfg, it's nice that there's a link to that documentation immediately after the client paragraph.
Will the introducer directory continue to contain it's furl reference as "introducer.furl"? --J -- "It is an unavoidable fact of life that servers can fail, or can turn out to be malicious..." --Zooko, Warner and Co. http://allmydata.org At the edge Symbols become subtleties Consensus Conceptions Where we dance ZZ --> <esc>:wq Hacking --> Yacking --> Yakking --> .... --> Yak-Wrangling

If a naive user is attempting to create a client and attach to an existing grid with no previous experience creating introducers it's easy to be confused about the nature of "introducer.furl", this should make it harder to misinterpret. In particular I was confused because the volunteer grid wiki made no explicit mention of "introducer.furl". diff -rN -u old-tahoe/docs/running.html new-tahoe/docs/running.html --- old-tahoe/docs/running.html 2009-03-10 17:17:37.000000000 -0700 +++ new-tahoe/docs/running.html 2009-03-10 17:17:37.000000000 -0700 @@ -38,7 +38,7 @@ <p>To construct a node run "<cite><strong>path-to-the-tahoe-bin-directory</strong>/tahoe create-client</cite>", which will create <cite>~/.tahoe</cite> to be the node's base directory.
