Honestly, I think these updates would integrate quite nicely in any way, so you
can choose the way you want. A pull request would be easiest for me, but

Nice, thank you.
A few notes:
Right now, there is a limitation that we can't add more than one event per year
per system. I mean, we can add more, but they will visually overlap, which is
not so nice. I don't know
Hi,
sometimes I'm confused about the number of Plan 9 related projects and how they
fit into the whole scheme of Plan 9 World. So I started collecting some
historic events about various projects and built a little script to convert
that into an SVG timeline.

Hi,
Not that it really makes sense, but have you tried running 9front as a thread?
Inferno could also be interesting...

That's what I also think. Most people don't use perl anymore.

Hi again,
I read a bit through Wayland and it seems like we could take a Wayland
implementation (like weston) and adjust it to output to devdraw instead of
using Linux DMA or vulkan or whatever. That adjusted Weston could run inside
the Linux vm. That way, the bridge could be easily synchronize

Hi,
Vic, your mail raised many arguments which I didn't agree with. Discussion
inline.
As the original mail was already quite long, this response is even longer. If
you still want to read it, prepare yourself with a cup of tea or something.

nice write-up, I can second every thought and feel the same.
However, I think it's worth looking at the beginner's journey - and I think
there are many. I'll share my own, maybe that helps you understand a bit more
about certain issues I (and probably others) had.
For the background, I pro

Hi,
for easier reading and permalinks, having all the papers also as individual pdf
files would be really cool. I think we had that for earlier IWP9s, too.

Well, that's not much, and if you're mentioning 9p, you could also mention
utf8, which is basically used everywhere.

9front's factotum(4) already mentions delkey with an explanation, and it also
links to the delkey tool which is described in delkey(1). In my opinion, that
should be enough

I built a small macro package some time ago for slides. It was mostly about
