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. ;) > up some obsolete info too. Do I need an account to edit the wiki? I 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? -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ |E-Mail: smiley@zenzebra.mv.com PGP key ID: BC549F8B| |Fingerprint: 9329 DB4A 30F5 6EDA D2BA 3489 DAB7 555A BC54 9F8B| +---------------------------------------------------------------+
