Subject: Re: [9fans] [GSOC 2013] Implement plan9 commands in Go, Goblin

Sure im always open to contributions. The only requirements for goblin are...

1. The plan9 command line api may not be changed. 

2. No import dependencies outside go's standard library except (http://godoc.org/github.com/guelfey/flag9) due to rule 1. (maybe termbox will be allowed if it simplifies the implementation greatly.)

3. All tools must be implemented as cross platform if possible. If we can emulate plan9 behavior in userland like inferno does then thats probably the way to go.

4. Most commands in goblin should be new implementations rather than C -> Go ports of the plan9 commands. Lucent PL is not GPL compatible and the goal is to not reintroduce code licensed under Lucent PL if it can be avoided. Some code like yacc has already been ported to Go from outside the goblin project and it doesnt make sense to replicate the effort in circumstances like this. Other than cases like this, I will reject code that appears to be directly derived of plan9's source.
