i'm considering it as part of my masters project here.
my supervisor at the University of Calgary is into Grid Computing, and
while reading the introductory papers (www.globus.org) i can't help
but notice that most of what's considered a 'problem for Grid Computing
to solve' has already be solved in P9...
i'm trying to make a case for p9 around here (UofC) but i'm banging
my head against the 'plan9 is not usable, there are no applications for it'
wall, so i'll try to present at least its ideas as worthy of consideration
for Griddy people. this probably includes porting factotum and secstore to
linux...
now, porting a single program does not a masters' thesis make (no matter
how hard the port may be), so i'm still fishing for ideas...
offtopic: i remember reading a text which praised p9 for its
distributedness ('using your colleague's machine and the corporate server
in china is one and the same' or something like that was the quote i
remember best) which i'm desperately trying to find.. if you remember
it please point me towards it, thanx :)
