Seriously, it's probobly easiest to understand how Plan 9 works and why it is the way it is by reading what you find in /sys/doc. Start with 9.ps and work yourself through the rest. A few things aren't really necessary to get started, but reading the titles and abstracts helps to sort things. The wiki is nice and contains quite a few descriptions of getting things done but provides little reasoning about design (notable exceptions are the pages on the colour scheme and the mouse vs. keyboard debate - there's really no need to carry this one back to the list.) Oh, and the man pages are great for reference.
