All of 9front is public in the hg repository. Not sure what the value is in "sending in patches" of stuff we wrote because we wanted it, and not necessarily to solve some larger problem. If anyone wants the code, he can just take it. I don't think hiro was criticizing 9front as much as the fact that 9fans seems to discuss p9p and vbox on osx more than any other software. khm
