Greetings,
I am a student interested in participating in GSoC under Plan 9. My
project would involve writing a new window manager as an alternative to rio:

I thought I'd say a few words informally as my proposal
We already have a lot of hacks to make rio tiling.
In my opinion the most interesting/worthwhile
projects mentioned on that wiki is to make things
touchscreen friendly.

It would be nice to have something like old Oberon OS had; I think acme was
inspired in part by it (I may be wrong).
Some time ago, I had some ideas on windowing design; were anyone
interested, they're here:

Certainly. It doesn't currently build. Old binaries start up but
quickly crash. From memory, I don't believe keyboard input
currently works.
Folks:
If you're thinking about applying to GSoC, do it
quick: students have just over two days to apply. The
application period ends at 19:00 UTC this Friday. We're
seeing some really excellent proposals.

Hello 9fans, I'm applying to the Plan 9 GSoC again this year.
I propose to continue work on the HTML5 drawterm I started in last
year's GSoC, in the hope of making it a usable alternative to the
native drawterm.
I have identified three major areas for improvement:
* cleaning up and fixing bugs

Hi,
as a new to Plan 9 I would like to know is there any support to dual

Multiple displays and display dpi awareness in acme would make my day!
Multi-display looks easy - we just need handling for adding a new row,
which is already handily abstracted.
Fitt's law aware mouse movement would be nice too, particularly on large
