Subject: [9fans] New wiki pages about 9p services and building grids
Date: Sun, 24 Feb 2013 01:32:06 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CANk5qp1M7jbU44Cj1ZdWTWMUuwjF+RiQhzZa7UGJDAZZN7A32Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello 9fans! After a year away from public Plan 9 projects and
development I have returned to full-time work on Plan 9 software and
services. Before posting about my current software project, I would
like to make note of two pages I added to the Bell Labs plan 9 wiki
which are intended as an overview of topics in multi-machine Plan 9
setups.

http://www.plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/9p_services_using_srv,_listen,_exportfs,_import/index.html

http://www.plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Expanding_your_Grid/index.html

These pages attempt to summarize key concepts in Plan 9, how 9p is
used on a grid of machines and how proceed as you add more machines to
a grid and configure systems for particular roles. I have done my best
to make these pages clear and correct without excessive detail, but it
would be great if some other users with practical experience with
mid-sized and larger grids helped error check and add anything crucial
I omitted.

I also have spent quite a few hours recently trying to add helpful
information to other wiki pages and restructure the organization of
the Documentation page. I have not removed any information or links
although I did rearrange ordering and change the wording of a few
descriptions. If you are a wiki contributor or editor I hope my
changes are for the better and please help improve my edits if I got
anything wrong. :)

I will be posting soon about my current software project for Plan 9
from Bell Labs, which is ready for release, but I would like some more
user testing and feedback before posting an announcement to this list.
If you aren't afraid of Giant ANTS feel free to email me at this
address or look me up in #plan9 irc on freenode.net if you are willing
to help test my software or even just read my documentation and paper
and discuss concepts.
