as someone who's currently doing some of it anyway, work on plan9 would
be delightful. but i'm not so sure i'd get the best job done. with bug
fixes and the like i feel fairly confident in my code, but for extensions
and additions i often doubt my code is good enough for the distribution
(though it certainly seems less hard to read than most of the linux
device drivers i've read) maybe some mentoring would help, but even if
gsoc were happening i'm not elegible. and i would guess that i'm not one
of the students in erik's combinations ⌣ (assuming a closed set).

but, i'll continue what i'm doing regardless, and maybe another four
years will produce some nice code.

enjoy,
tristan
