I suppose this tradition can not be live long anymore bvecause of
dispersion of people, and they have their own job other than Plan 9 
now.

The paper is paper, which makes us the things clearer than reading
so-called users manual.   However, it'd be better if we have users
anual with papers for beginners.   I'm not a person who can do it,
so, I'd be very happy if someone could use their time for that purpose.
If we have such, it's more easy to tell someone "Why you don't try
Plan 9?"

By the way, your updates to /sys/src/fs is very interesting to me.
All the sources are in sources?
