One thing that might interest you is the devwsys project
http://summerofdevdraw.blogspot.be/
https://bitbucket.org/yiyus/devwsys-prev

It would definitely be interesting to have a Wayland port of this,
since it would offer an upgrade path for plan9port, vx32, Inferno etc
to Wayland.

A proper file system interface for network and GUI in Linux would be
neat however :) There is a paper on remote desktop solutions using the
9P protocol on Linux and I think a lot of resource sharing betwen
virtualized OSes and host happens via 9P2000 - so there would
definitely be a use for it.

Might be interesting for the Wayland people now when they are moving
away from the X11 network transparency.
