Message-ID: <20001113203215.D20C0199F2@mail.cse.psu.edu> (raw)

Inferno is not the system I use so I'm less interested.  However, there is
someone in taiwan that wants to do the Inferno port.  Since the kernels
are somewhat similar, the second should be easier than the first.

However, the hard part of the port is going to be the user interface.
The kernel hacking is trivial.  I believe that neither plan 9 nor
Inferno have a significant step up there.  Rob's agreed to hack rio
for us to incorporate a binding between input and application that
we think will be helpful.  Our first attempt will probably be an
despicable failure, but that's the fun part.  I'll leave it up to all 
of you to do a better job either with Inferno or Plan 9.
