This is #534 and #734. The status is that François did a lot of work on the unicode patches, I did one round of very basic reviews which turned up a few issues, then I stopped spending time on that in order to focus on the v1.5 release and nobody else volunteered to do reviews. I would like to prioritize this issue now that v1.5 is out. I have a few ideas about what I want next from Tahoe-LAFS, some which are about making other people happy. I want to make Brian have more fun by giving him elliptic curve crypto tools (#217), and I want to make François have more fun by giving him code reviews (or finding another volunteer else who will). I also want to get Tahoe-LAFS included in operating systems like Debian, FreeBSD, etc., and I also want to work on forward-compatibility issues like #731. I've been trying to think of ways to implement forward-compatibility which will make the transition to new file formats and crypto algorithms as painless as possible. Of course, I've probably just named more things that I can reasonably finish in a "v1.6" time frame, unless some other people volunteer to take primary responsibility for some of these. Whoo! This'll be fun! :-) Oh, and of course I'll want to support various people who are building on top of Tahoe-LAFS. A recent addition to that category is Aaron Cordova who has implemented but not announced a plugin for Haddoop MapReduce so that it can do its MapReduce magic on data stored in Tahoe-LAFS. Very cool! Okay, it's 21:00 PM here in Boulder, CO and time for me to stop looking at computer screens for the night.
