This is tangential to the topic, but has anyone written up a "how I use p9p"
configuration style document?  I've not really tried to use factotum from
p9p, because I was not even sure if it worked.

Also the one time I tried to set up venti from p9p I basically failed
horribly, and wasn't really sure what I did wrong.  (I should read the
installation scripts for Plan 9 and the man pages but haven't had time to
get back to it).

I'm wondering things like "can I use p9p venti as a snapshot back end to a
VMWare Plan 9 Fossil?

I'd also like to host the blocks for my guruplug on my Mac OS X system
directly with p9p venti if I could.

I feel I'm missing out on a few really great opportunities to use this
stuff, and I doubt I'm the only one :-).

That said, I use p9p Acme all the time, and it's wonderful!
