Congratulation :)
Tahoe documentation could mention this:
https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/browser/docs/quickstart.rst
> 2. Tails persistent volume assistant feature additions:

> Right now the Tails persistent volume assistant has a user configurable
> list of persistence futures which correspond to sets of files that can
> be persisted.
> The user can selects which to persist or not persist.
> For each of these items there should be a third option: "persist to
> Tahoe-LAFS grid and persist to local volume".
It's good to have a concrete integration proposition! Looks good to me
(understandable and usable), but i'm curious about other people's
opinions. And... would that not be better to have, like you propose, 3
columns, but the third being Tahoe, so users can choose to persist
localy, OR on Tahoe, OR both - by selecting one column, the other, or
both. But... Tahoe column should be grey if Tahoe has not been configured.
And also, who volunteers to hack the persistent volume assistant?

Somebody wants to write the text? I looked at Tahoe documentation, and
it seemed that there is no GUI for that.
https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/browser/docs/running.rst looks
complete, if not very user-friendly, so linking to that could be a good
start.
Once Tahoe persistence is implemented, documentation:
https://tails.boum.org/doc/about/features/index.en.html should mention
Tahoe, probably in the "Encryption & Privacy" part.
https://tails.boum.org/contribute/design/#index44h3 should mention it,
right after "3.6.17 Persistence feature". Maybe there should be a
sub-ticket from #6227 about the documentation.

I suggest to raise the idea in Tahoe mailing list... once it exists we
can see if it's interesting for Tails :)

Idem, probably interesting ideas for Tahoe developers.
But from what I read from the documentation, I suggest a GUI to setup
Tahoe client first. As it is, it's quite a geek tool, IMO.

That's a good start :)
