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. -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/glendix?hl=en
