this mess is kind of our fault though. If we'd get off our collective
ass(es) and write stuff for osnews ... otherwise, the wikipedia effect
applies.
I agree. I just think that the value of these OSNews things is
overrated. People are going to buy into what a clearly very new
person to Plan 9 has to say about it with almost no question.
How is a person supposed to separate the grain from the chaff when
web-journalism and blogs are at the quality they are?
I've just (re)learned the hard way: successful research is about 99% PR,
1% real work. And, there are very, very successful and well-known
researchers in this world who manage to make it 100% PR.
Yeah, V9FS needs some PR too, and advocacy I guess to get things into
other OSes.

p.s. curmudgeon A T lanl.gov gets to me to. You can guess why.
Yeah that's ok, apparently I'm an arrogant asshole :-). I can live
with that... As long as I can occasionally still be useful.
