Natsios >=20 > (a.k.a Drakevr) Some of the commands on your list are already completed. I marked them with= a *. ascii *basename=20 cal *cat *cleanname *cmp *date du dd diff *echo ed fmt freq getflags grep join look *ls *mkdir *mtime pwd read sed seq *sleep sort split *strings tail *tee test *touch tr troff unicode uniq Most of these commands are trivial to implement in Go due to the fact that = the standard library already implements the functionality. The only reason = why they havent been implemented yet is because I havent had time to work o= n them. The commands I highly desire being worked on, some that can very possibly b= e developed over the summer, are awk, man, mosh (this will replace ssh1, ss= h2 http://mosh.mit.edu/), plumb, mk, grep, sed, diff/idiff, lex, yacc (impl= ement ability for yacc to output a parser for C instead of go.), ed, bc, ac= id/db, ndb, hoc, and rc. Also some other commands that would be really neat to have is all the comma= nds that interface with webapps. For example; tinyurl, thesaurus, weather, = news, dict, would all be very cool plan9 commands to implement. These are just my recommendations and any contribution to goblin will be gr= eatly appreciated. Thanks for your interest. =20
