Honestly speaking, in current situation this tastes a bit for
administration for the sake of administration. In my opinion it would be
more fruitful to bring together at first the niners with similar goals and
needs i.e. "SIGs" at first which could form the core later if necessary

When looking at the FreeBSD project, the introduction of a Plan 9 Core Team can
offer several benefits:
1.
Centralized Technical Leadership: A Core Team can provide clear technical
leadership and direction for the project. This ensures that development efforts
are
coordinated, focused, and aligned with the project's goals.
2.
Consistency and Stability: With a dedicated Core Team, there is a better
chance of maintaining consistency and stability in the development process.
This can lead to
more reliable and predictable updates.
3.
Efficient Decision-Making: The Core Team can streamline decision-making
processes, especially for critical technical decisions. This can help avoid
delays and
conflicts that might arise in a more decentralized development model.
4.
Attracting Contributors: Having a well-defined leadership structure can
make the project more attractive to potential contributors, as they can see a
clear path for
their contributions and how they can impact the project's direction.
5.
Community Cohesion: A Core Team can act as a unifying force within the
community, bringing together contributors from various Plan 9 distributions and
projects. It
fosters collaboration and cooperation.
6.
Long-Term Sustainability: By focusing on technical governance, a Core Team
can help ensure the long-term sustainability of the project, making it less
reliant on the
efforts of a single individual or a small group.
7.
Representation: The Core Team can include representatives from different
Plan 9 distributions, ensuring that various voices and perspectives are
considered in the
decision-making process.
8.
Resource Allocation: The Core Team can allocate resources more efficiently,
directing efforts towards areas that are most critical to the project's success.
9.
Enhanced Documentation: With a centralized team, there's often a better
opportunity to maintain and improve project documentation, making it easier for
newcomers to
understand and contribute to the project.
10.
Fostering Innovation: A Core Team can actively promote innovation and new
features, driving the evolution of the Plan 9 operating system in a direction
that aligns
with the community's needs and goals.
