I'd like to help out with this...

I think the wiki could do with more examples around setting up NFS
clients/servers, aquarela usage, dedicated mail servers.

Does anyone think this is a bad idea?  I mean, I know we're supposed
to be able to read the man pages and just be successful, but I still
have a lot of trial and error, and often no success (like with
aquarela).

Does having tons of shortcuts in the wiki discourage people from
reading the man pages, and is that a bad thing, or does it just
comfort new users with HOWTO's to get started on Plan 9?

Just a thought.  Seems like more examples would be a good thing.
