I was wondering about that too and when I found out there was no 9P package
for Go yet I created this project page: http://code.google.com/p/go9/. I
thought go9 was a reasonable compromise for the package name given we can't
start with digits, though we can change that if anyone has a better idea.

There's no code in there yet because I just found out about Go a few hours
ago and am still wrapping my head around it. I probably won't get something
working for atleast a few weeks, so in the interim if someone wants to get
started please pitch in and let's not duplicate work :-)
