This should be amended to say something like ""providing node status and, if the node is running a storage client a.k.a. gateway service, providing filesystem access as defined in `webapi.rst `_"". * The docs in [source:docs/configuration.rst] should be edited a little to explain that the thing called a ""Tahoe-LAFS storage client"" is also sometimes called a ""Tahoe-LAFS gateway"". * The [http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/browser/trunk/docs/configuration.rst?annotate=blame&rev=5034#L57 docs of the node section] should include mention of a storage server and helper as kinds of nodes, in addition to storage client and introducer. In addition, I think the following is a related issue: * As far as I can tell, the {{{tempdir}}} field from [http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/browser/trunk/docs/configuration.rst?annotate=blame&rev=5034#L51 the ""node"" section] of the configuration file belongs in [http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/browser/trunk/docs/configuration.rst?annotate=blame&rev=5034#L252 the ""client"" section], because a temp directory for uploading files is only used for clients/gateways. But since fixing that will require an actual code change and not just a documentation change I'll put it in a separate ticket (#1445)." defect new minor undecided unknown 1.8.2 docs configuration usability
