Good to know the people who know most about plan9, most of whom still seem to read this list, are not going to be bothered by discussions of a technical nature.

Sure, we have some fun too... So what? I don't think I've ever not received help to a well-asked question that couldn't be solved by RTFM on this list. So I'm a bit unlikely to abandon 9fans. PS: Thanks to Charles Forsyth and Noah Evans for help on the Nintendo DS port of Inferno. All my toolchain problems appear to be solved and I'm now well-equipped to get my hands actually dirty in there. There is a google code hosted project http://code.google.com/p/inferno-ds. Got some other DS hacking friends interested in it, hopefully we'll have LCD issues figured out soon then the 802.11 stuff may fall into place, and I'm hoping to be able to mount my laptop from the DS and execute .dis's to my heart's content, no promises on when :-) [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 1965 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 20+ messages in thread

They give you JTAG access so you can reprogram it from the lowest level. The only thing that is not 'user-modifiable' is the GSM module (which is packaged into separate IC and is seen as a serial port to the OS). IIRC the 'hacker' kit includes all tools needed to take it apart and has debugging board included :-) The only thing that I don't like is that it has only GSM. That means that although I'd love to play with it, it won't work for example in Japan (where I intent to go, unless Google hires me, which I doubt.) > Too bad. Cell phone companies are a pain.

I have absolutely no objections to people ever breaking into smaller subgroups to work on stuff people think is only tangentially interesting to the rest of a group. v9fs is a successful subgroup of folks. I just learned of the google code project hosting for Inferno on the DS... I wouldn't think to cram all of that discussion on 9fans. Seems that it's not inappropriate to sort of poke one's head in here from time to time and say "hey look what we're working on and tell us if you think it's crap" once in a while though :-). We are all, after all, 9fans :-) Frankly, my post-mortem on gsoc won't be very nice.

I think Uriel did a great job getting something organized and off the ground. I'm just not sure that as an "organization" we're a good match - I think we just don't have enough developers on most of our projects to get a good head of steam going for most students.

I just took a quick look at plan9-tech. I think I might have helped with some of those issues but did not even know the list existed. There are very few messages, so it's not like we would have been overwhelmed with traffic. We're a small group. I still don't see the benefit of making us smaller. ron ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 20+ messages in thread
