== The Basics ==
 * [http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/about.html about.html]: the shape of a Tahoe filesystem and the security properties that it offers
 * [http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/install.html install.html]: how to install it (from source code)
 * [http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/running.html running.html]: how to run it once it is installed
 * [http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/using.html using.html]: how to use it once it is running

 * [source:docs/known_issues.txt known_issues.txt]: things you need to be aware of if you want to rely on Tahoe to store your valuable data.

== Presentations / Papers ==
 * The [http://allmydata.org/~warner/pycon-tahoe.html paper] presented at
   [http://us.pycon.org/2008/about/ PyCon2008],
   providing an overview of the Tahoe design, and the
   [http://allmydata.org/~warner/pycon-tahoe-slides.zip slides] (.zip) that
   were used for the presentation.

== Developer Docs ==
These docs are stored in the source tree, under revision control.  You can browse them through the web site: 
 * [source:docs/ the docs/ directory]

== Developer Wiki Pages ==
 * [wiki:UseCases UseCases]: the ways in which Tahoe should be useful

== Obsolete Docs ==
These docs are here in case someone wants to copy out the parts that are still relevant before deleting them.
 * [http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/install-details.html install-details.html]: a big, unformatted, ill-maintained collection of notes about install issues on various platforms; Hopefully this doc isn't needed for you because the short and sweet "install.html" Just Works.  If you love a certain platform and you write a nice install document describing how you build Tahoe on that platform then we will be grateful and you will earn a place in the CREDITS file.
