Great stuff, but 2 comments.

1) The link to the web interface to the cvs repository
(http://cvs.pdos.lcs.mit.edu/cvs/plan9/) seems to have disappeared from
the web-site and from the docs in the download (I had to search through my
browser history to find it).

2) There may be some problem building the web manual if the installation
isn't in /usr/local/plan9.  Everything seems to work fine, but I got the
following messages near end of install.log:

Building web manual...
rc ./manweb
ls: [a-z0-9:]*.[0-9]*: No such file or directory
dhtml: unknown directive .(0x2e) at <stdin>:#13283
sed: Can't open /usr/local/plan9/dist/checkman.awk
Done.

When I installed in /usr/local/plan9, I got the following instead:

Building web manual...
rc ./manweb
ls: [a-z0-9:]*.[0-9]*: No such file or directory
dhtml: unknown directive .(0x2e) at <stdin>:#13283
Done.

I don't know if the set error indicates something serious or not.
