[tahoe-dev] new stable grid volunteers

[Andrej Falout]

Thanks Brian,

Yes please, as without it the volunteers grid will not be an option for a
number of people, including me.

I am assuming it should be easy to bypass space checks completely, when the
variable sizelimit= is not set, so it should not have negative impact on
anyone not specifying a value there.

Which sounds great, but with unknown delivery date. BTW, how is that going,
I'm hoping the linked data privacy issue can be resolved when Accounting
work is done?

Thanks,
