added "storage nodes" and "rules?" section

introducer

The introducer's furl is:

pb://6cypm5tfsv6ag43g3j5z74qx5nfxa2qq@207.7.131.41:64228,nooxie.zooko.com:64228/introducer

You can see this introducer's wui at http://nooxie.zooko.com:9797 .

nooxie is located in a co-lo in San Francisco. I'll let you know once I figure out how to add nooxie's location to http://OpenStreetMap.org .

Nooxie is an athlon64 server running a beta release of an old version of Nexenta GNU/OpenSolaris (http://nexenta.org ). uname -a says:

SunOS nooxie 5.11 NexentaOS_20070704 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris

It has two identical SATA drives of about 33 GB capacity each in a ZFS RAID-Z mirror, at the time of this writing about 5 GB free. Note that nooxie is not currently offering a storage server, only an introducer.

I'm afraid to mess with the configuration of the operating system or network, because the physical box is in a different geographic region from me, so its uptime is 590 days.

The IP address is staticly assigned, the domain name "nooxie.zooko.com" is included in the furl just for future robustness.

storages nodes

(It would be best if this information can somehow be tracked together with the map suggested in ticket #642.).

rules?

As the grid is meant to be stable, I think we should work out some rules regarding the usage, to prevent obsessive space usage by users who don't contribute, servers going offline with no warning (Tahoe is resistant against that, but what happens if multiple servers, maybe from the same admin, go away?), incompatible upgrades creating data loss (what happens when Tahoe 1.4 introduces a new storage format, rendering all the already stored chunks unusable), ...
