not really, if contrib was part of the distribution the guys at the labs would get the mails I get about contrib support. they way I see it, Plan 9, the official distribution is a research operating system, not an end user product, in an ideal world some guys would step out and say, hey let's make a end user Plan 9 distribution and maintain it, give support to the users, get a pkg system going with what the user wants, and all the other things that end user products offer, this is what I tried to imply in the previous posts... this requires effort, one that I'm not going to make nor ask anyone either. -- Federico G.
