Some subset of the 9front people also do this with various publicly- available resources, like 9changes and 9atom. I'm not sure of the value of a javascript thing that is inaccessible from actual plan 9. For a lot of us, plan 9 is a functioning operating system and less of a research-paper generation mechanism. Part of the reason 9front originally even moved to google code was because hg worked on plan 9, and since then cinap wrote hgfs to make things even easier in the field. While I appreciate the desire for a dashboard-overview of this sort of thing, javascript is not a thing that happens on this operating system. khm
