No, I'm going for world domination. Starting with the local Go group.

The fileserver is meant for Plan 9 communications, and is left open
to serve any interface that provides a two-player turn-based game.
This includes Go, Chess, Checkers, and whatever else. After the
rudimentary interface is provided by an application (i.e., a board
or an automated engine), the only thing required to make it
networked is to decide on a format and use it to read/write on
files served by the fs (and handle gid permissions, if one wants).
To this effect, I've added *no* Go primitives or specifications to
the filesystem, and don't intend to do so in the future.

I never found it interesting to play with random people on the
internet, anyway. This is at least a dreidel roll away from
being the roll of dice.
