Here's what I' ve been thinking about that may be worth sharing: I'd
like to have working 9legacy, 9pi (which I'd like to call 9muller,
frankly, if only for clarity, but also because it is what I run on my
i386 workstation, not yet the network server), 9atom and last, just to
emphasise it is NOT least, 9front. Each of those have useful
differences and even though I never really make any progress, I like
to think that there is "One plan 9" struggling to be born from these
variations.

So my question is this: what would be an optimal arrangement to have
all of these variation publicly available and reasonably maintained?
At worst, as downloadable VM images, at best along the lines of the Go
builders, where changes can be tentatively applied and tested?

Would the Plan 9 Foundation be interested in proposing to this
community that such a concept be pursued and properly maintained and
laying down a project path to achieve this objective? Could there be
much smaller portions of such an objective that could be progressively
achieved in a distributed, centrally managed manner?
