It's not clear what your preference is, Ori. Maybe you can clarify how
you would like contributors to participate in the self-hosted project.

I personally really appreciate, in particular the convergence of Plan
9 streams that your efforts are encouraging.

I just don't yet see how this should be harnessed, but I do wish the
discussion could at least start, lay down some useful objectives that
can be accepted by all interested parties. In some kind of unity lies
Plan 9's strength.

In a sense, Plan 9 is immunisation against the fragmenting forces of
the market place, but I think it needs more than a shot, it needs
continuous application. R.A. Heinlein (if I remember right) likened it
to growing a bonsai tree over multiple human generations.

Let me leave it at that, but add that I personally think that revision
control can be done far more productively than Git, but the effort
needed would be significant. In Ori's own git9 are but the seeds for
that. And Github has shown what Git can facilitate, imagine what the
next generation could mean for development.

Lucio.

PS: in case it got swamped, Ori, all I really started with was to say
"thank you". I tend to slip into self-indulgence...
