You can read a short abstract here: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2011/yiyus/22001 The main idea is to avoid the duplication of xlib dependent code in inferno, p9p, 9vx and drawterm and write a wsys device to use the window manager of the host system through a file server similar to rio(4). If the new x11 code will be a library or some sort of p9p's devdraw(1) and if the wsys device will be an inferno/drawterm/9vx kernel device or an external program serving 9P are open questions yet. Feel free to ask if you want to know more. -- - yiyus || JGL .
