Description
It would be useful for the VolunteerGrid if users could add some metadata to announcements, e.g. storage node location, contact information or notes about the connectivity. This would probably also help to implement the idea in ticket #642.

[21:21] <zooko> Ooh, I want a way to put metadata into the announcement, next to the "nickname" so that we can, if we choose, put geographic location in there. :-) [21:22] <soultcer> I added a table at http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/wiki/VolunteerGrid but metadata for storage node announcements sounds easier to maintain and more fun. Maybe you can add not only a location node but also a contact node, in case we need to contact node owners.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
Yes! #466 (extensible introducer announcements) would make this pretty easy: the biggest challenge would be deciding the name of the dictionary key.
