There's a wiki page index:
http://www.plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Wiki_index
You can also:
9fs wiki && cd /mnt/wiki
The wiki pages should all be listed in that directory, with spaces in
their names converted to underscores.

Google can't find much at all regarding Plan 9. (Well, not for any of
the searches I've done.) I don't think google has learned that we exist
yet. ;)

Nope. Anyone with srv(4) can mount it. The standard way to edit it is
via Acme. 'Local 9fs wiki' and then 'Wiki'.
In theory.
When I try this, I am able to pull up the wiki pages. But I only have
about 60 seconds to get in, make my changes, and Put them. If I take
any longer than that, I get all sorts of "hangup" errors. I have to
close out the Wiki windows, 9fs and Wiki back in, and try again to make
the changes faster. Guess the fids go stale or something. It'd be nice
to know why the wiki drops out so quickly, though.
I had sources go down in the middle of contrib/install'ing tex. Now
THAT was frustrating. contrib(1) doesn't handle partially installed
packages very well at all. Say, where is the canonical community bug
tracker for Plan 9, anyway?
