This will exhaust you very quickly. The best way to deal with it is to spread
your efforts between multiple projects, so that you would get some response
sooner.

Then you have debunked some myths about Plan 9. I think you'll be interested
to read this: http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/community/weblogs/antrik/plan9-and-the-hurd-major-differences.html

I believe this is a viable goal. But any ideas need time to be accepted by the
general public. Pushing hard won't help much, just give it enough time
to settle.

BTW if you'd put your Mercurial repository on e.g. Google code it'll make access
and collaboration easier. This note is directed to all 9fans as well.
