hmm, perhaps I didn't look hard enough, but I didn't see anything
like an "edit" button etc ... ;-o

Okay, I'll get back to it in a few days. But this site clearly has
a big bottleg when it comes to collaboration, because Uriel has to
maintain that all.

I'd really like to get the whole 9P topic to very broad audience.
My suggested site isn't actually for us, who are on this list, but
those who aren't, those wo probably hear about 9P the first time.
So we IMHO should learn from all the big "community" projects how
to attract people and get them involved with minimal effort. It's
not for us, it's for them ...
(a psychological, not a technical decision).
