There was one called omero[1][2] for octopus which is influenced by plan9 however, it seems to require inferno to run (dis files). I have been looking for one too, and according to this http://jfloren.net/b/2012/4/16/stumpwm-blog.txt there may have been some thing to start with. , and have been working with a simple hack to maximize the term in rio on creation. It does seem that it would not be very difficult to make it tiling.
