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 also kindly responded regarding the original contrib 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. -- David du Colombier -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T5b1530f46b5c653d-M2832f1e0bcba41420a919f1a Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
Re: [9fans] sources/contrib
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.

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 -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T5b1530f46b5c653d-Mcae6e91560356e2fa2b3672c Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
