Subject: [9fans] novel userspace paradigms introduced by plan 9
Date: Sat, 2 Jul 2011 11:15:17 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <BANLkTin9RO2YeBcNM8gbcNHG7G1xPHH5vA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello, 9fans!
I'm a GSoC student working on "Plan 9 From Gentoo", a Gentoo project
to create a liveCD that comprises of a Gentoo base-system and a Plan
9-inspired userspace, instead of the typical GNU userspace.
However, I'm new to Plan 9, and I'm wondering if veteran 9'ers have
any suggestions for novel userspace concepts intro'd by Plan 9 that
should be included/documented or that still need to be ported to Linux
from Plan 9. These ideas don't necessarily need to be unique to Plan
9, as long as they are different from the typical GNU/Linux fare.
Some of the things I have discovered so far:
* Drawing windows on the screen via rio and mouse button 2
* Mouse chording
* Sending things via plumber
* Majority of text can be edited (i.e. old commands in the shell, etc)
Thanks,
robb
