No!
Has anyone tried out Gwene? Basically you "sign up" an RSS feed and it
presents it as an NNTP news feed that you can access via news.gwene.org.
Now, this is what I like. Take some core sites and resources ("all
useful features" port of the web) and use the sites API, write a
"translator" to present the content as news, or plain text (files served
via a fs) where applicable.
If I had time and the stomach to deal with website "API's" and content
formating, I would do just that.
I'd claim that most sites these days lend well to being translated as
NNTP news feeds. Most sites are people 'posting' crap and thoughts on
said crap at regular intervals.
Some useful staples like wikipedia could get their own fs (wikipediafs?
-- that's a mouthful...).
Fun but frivolous stuff like reddit could be presented as NNTP as well.
If done right, there could be one NNTP server like Gwene that we could
all use -- or you could roll your own for at home. And of course it
doesn't need to be nntp. I just figured it could be used by people on
OS's they get stuck with at work that don't speak 9p :)
For newly discovered sites that you'd like to visit when curiosity gets
the best of you -- you've got abaco or something under linuxemu.
I say modify the web for plan9, not plan9 for the web.
Frankly I'd be more interested in a video player (just a few common
codecs that's all) than a modern web browser.
