Thank you for the kind welcome and the helpful pointers, which I will
check out.  I have also been lurking around this list for a short while,
to get somewhat up to speed.

David du Colombier also kindly responded regarding the original contrib
mirror in a separate subthread.

I am the maintainer of 9p.io. You can contact me with your desired
username so I can can create you a contrib directory.

Hello and welcome back,

26.01.2021 23:01:35 Pouya Tafti :

I'm coming back to Plan 9 after something of a 15 year break.


Wow, that's a very long time. Indeed, welcome back. I hope you feel well 
in the new community. I'm sure it changes quite a bit.



It looks
like 9p.io has replaced plan9.bell-labs.com.  Is it still possible to
have a contrib directory (and should I have one / do I deserve one)?


As far as I know there is a mirror or remake of the original contrib at 
9p.io, but I'm not sure.


Since you were away for 15 years you might want to check out other Plan 9 
forks. The most active one is probably 9front[1], which contains lots of 
new software as well as hardware support. It also has its own 
infrastructure (source repo, contrib).


I know there's (or was?) 9atom, but I don't know the details. Also 
there's lots of new software for 9 in general made by other developers 
outside the contribs. It's worth mentioning that many new software is in 
git repos since we now have a native git software[2]. Lots of older 
software is archived on github[3].


There's also a 9fans discord server that's bridged to ##9fans on 
freenode, if you want some more synchronous communication.


Don't hesitate to ask questions. Welcome back 

I'm coming back to Plan 9 after something of a 15 year break.  It looks
like 9p.io has replaced plan9.bell-labs.com.  Is it still possible to
have a contrib directory (and should I have one / do I deserve one)?
The old instructions were to request one by e-mailing a--presumably--now
defunct address at the Bell Labs (which I, being too much of an amateur
and with nothing to contribute, didn't do back then).

Many thanks,
Pouya

Yes, I did.  Basically followed the same instructions as you wrote
below (think I even took them from your reply on an older thread
so thanks!) plus 'ndb/dns -r'.  Worked for 2.4GHz but not for 5GHz.
A quick internet search suggests a possibility that the 5GHz band may
need to be enabled by setting the regulatory domain/region.  Will give it
another try at some point; a bit hesitant right now since it's a normally
headless setup and I don't want to mess with connectivity too often.
