Sieg Heil!

The web is a disease, but the same could be said of SMTP, PC hardware
and many other things that Plan 9 has to deal with.

If you are trying to tell people what they should work on (without
considerable amounts of cash changing hands) you could as well try to
change the orbit of the moon with your thoughts alone. If you want to
see something done there is only one way: do it.

Of course, if anyone is looking for suggestions, exploding nukes at
the Googleplex and at the next W3C meeting would be a good start.

That could be followed by setting up gas chambers for anyone left
related to WEB 2.0 or AJAX.

Oh, well, one can always dream...
