+# Development Infrastructure

+As defined in [ComponentDefinitions](ComponentDefinitions):
+
+> things that help us build Tahoe, like the buildbot, the automated speed/memory/code-coverage tests (and the web pages which display their results), the IRC channels and mailing lists, and this Trac bugtracker itself.
