Hi,
I noticed that someone changed the official WWW site for Plan 9 from Bell Labs in the Wikipedia article on Plan 9 to https://9p.io/plan9 from the original https://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/ that I had once set it to (way back when when that site was still online). My apologies if this information be available elsewhere (did a quick Duck Duck Go search and couldn’t find any info), but who is behind the https://9p.io/plan9/ WWW site?  The site says “Copyright © 2014 Alcatel-Lucent,” but AFAIK that entity doesn’t exist anymore.  Should we be archiving or mirroring 9p.io in case that site goes off-line one day just as the original plan9.bell-labs.com site did?
Thanks, and stay safe and healthy

Not helpful lol
If 9p.io not be a generous public service by an authority such as R. Cox, E. Quanstrom, or C. Forsyth who can be relied on to maintain it in perpetuity, should we maybe mirror it as a WWW site on github.io for safekeeping?

I'm running 9p.io. The website site still mention Alcatel-Lucent because
it has been mostly untouched since it has been mirrored from the former
Bell Labs website.

9p.io is not only a website, but also serves FTP, 9P, wikifs, etc. with a similar
setup than the server that used to run at Bell Labs (plan9.bell-labs.com).

I've been running 9p.io since 2014 and I don't intend to shut down it.
You can mirror 9p.io if you want. There is already plan9.io, which is a
mirror of 9p.io ran by arisawa.

The interesting parts of 9p.io are in served over 9p, which I don't think those services support.
The HTML part is mirrored fairly well by archive.org.
