The reorganization was supposed to clean up things and make stuff more accessible, unfortunately there were disagreements and a compromise was sort of halfway implemented. > For example a lot of useful information is under "more..." - not very > descriptive. Certainly. An important missing link in the front page is to the main wiki page. Here is my proposed slightly corrected main page: http://glendy.se.cat-v.org/who/uriel/p9_3.html (It also fixes the broken html and various other things) But this was not accepted due to a 6 months moratorium on any website changes imposed by 'the powers that be'. > also where did the links to outside pages go (e.g. forsyth's)? Outside pages with software should die, I'm sick of checking for broken links, and hunting down where things have moved this week, or who might have a copy of something that is not online anymore. All that stuff should be in sources/contrib so it can be properly indexed and mirrored. But because no one gives a shit, still most stuff is scattered all over the net, I try to keep the links to stuff that has yet to move to sources/contrib in: http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Software_for_Plan_9/ (Note that quite a few of those links are broken, and are just reminders for me to hunt down who might have a copy of the contents so it can be put in sources) uriel
