Greetings,
I am a student interested in participating in GSoC under Plan 9. My
project would involve writing a new window manager as an alternative to rio:
http://www.plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/alternative_window_system/index.html
I thought I'd say a few words informally as my proposal is
We already have a lot of hacks to make rio tiling.
In my opinion the most interesting/worthwhile
projects mentioned on that wiki is to make things
touchscreen friendly.

It would be nice to have something like old Oberon OS had; I think acme was
inspired in part by it (I may be wrong).
Some time ago, I had some ideas on windowing design; were anyone
interested, they're here:

Not to be pedantic, but note that there isn't any "voting"
here. Students come up with a proposal for something
they'd be interested in working on for the summer, and
the prospective mentors order them and fill however
many slots we get (short version). I'd l

Certainly. It doesn't currently build. Old binaries start up but
quickly crash. From memory, I don't believe keyboard input
currently works
Folks:
If you're thinking about applying to GSoC, do it
quick: students have just over two days to apply. The
application period ends at 19:00 UTC this Friday. We're
seeing some really excellent proposals.
Prospective mentors, if you've not signed up in
Melange yet, you should do s

the drawterm in js and websocket project is ongoing, and the
current code is part of 9atom.

Hello 9fans, I'm applying to the Plan 9 GSoC again this year.
I propose to continue work on the HTML5 drawterm I started in last
year's GSoC, in the hope of making it a usable alternative to the
native drawterm.
I have identified three major areas for improvement:
* cleaning up and fixing bugs in

Hi,
as a new to Plan 9 I would like to know is there any support to dual
monitor setup? Can I rotate monitor in plan 9? How does support of video
cards looks like in general?

Multiple displays and display & dpi awareness in acme would make my day!
Multi-display looks easy - we just need handling for adding a new "row",
which is already handily abstracted.
Fitt's law aware mouse movement would be nice too, particularly on large
screens. You could slightly "trap" the mo
