As an experienced Unix user, I am constantly surprised by utilities that seem
to be missing in Plan 9 (I know, Plan 9 is NOT Unix).  That is, I need to
learn the Plan 9 way (and break a few Unix habits) in order to raise my level
of comfort with Plan 9.  Although the Plan 9 documents provide plenty of
technical detail, they don't provide as much "common usage" as I would like.

Any way, I was wondering if some one from the Computing Science Research
Center at Bell Labs could put on a Plan 9 tutorial.  From the activity on this
mailing list (and news group) I think that you could get a good turn out,
particularly if you held it at the up-coming Usenix conference in January.
