Re: [9fans] web-based plan 9?

["Fco. J. Ballesteros" <nemo@lsub.org>]

We had a prototype that tried to reproduce in a web page
the UI structure as described by o/mero.

Nothing that really could be used in practice.
In the end we abandoned that and used inferno for
the client software (terminal).

It's funny the post about using Sepxs to transfer
FS trees, because that's quite similar to what o/mero
does to send updates to the viewer, o/live.
It sends a batch of the UI tree that changed.

Anyone experimented with providing this as a
general feature for a FS? (I think I understood that in
one of the posts, but I'm not sure).
