Re: [9fans] GSOC: Drawterm for the iPhone

["Federico G. Benavento" <benavento@gmail.com>]

my questions were more about the real usage of iphone's dt
my short sighted vision of the gsoc is this, I didn't use any
of the stuff that gsoc 2007 got us, though I recognize the
inferno ds port.
but for the rest, it might be interesting, but is someone
using that stuff?

iphone's drawterm sounds like something that very few
people will use (the ones that have a cpu server and an
iphone) in not that much often, of course it could be
interesting to have it, but...

I think that gsoc is a good chance to get going stuff that
we need and we will really use.

think of the openssh port, I did that, not for a gsoc and
people use it, some guy even wrote a filesystem which
suits lot's of people's needs.
