P9F has done so far
This is great news, but just before I start throwing money your
way, it would be nice to know what you're planning to do with it.

what you're planning to get up to.

This is excellent news. I am especially excited to see some familiar
names in the signature (the familiarity is one-directional, partly
from when I was lurking around Plan 9 lists back in the 2000s).
Would be keen to learn how

who have programming dayjobs but would rather quit those and make
something more meaningful that isn't profit-driven and part of the
