Darn you!  That was going to be my project :)
Oh well, I'm sure you did it better than I could have.

Although a random nit is that, for the web interface, the generated links
point to

http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/14

instead of

http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/14/

or

http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/14/index.html

which forces the browser to do a 301 Moved Permanently redirect to get the
real address every time you follow a link.

Very cool, though.

I guess that means the transvestite angora fetish ascii porn is out...

How about let-a-hundred-weeds-overgrow? :)  It's still better than monoculture
or toxic wasteland (although I guess you could say the current field has
aspects of both).  It's still possible to find or make beautiful things in a
toxic wasteland, even if it's not as much fun.
