Well now it implements synthetic filesystems through FUSE, and FUSE is
not available on Windows. Even worse, there's no good way of
implementing synthetic filesystems in userspace on Windows.

In principle you can use upspin without kernel support for mounting
synthetic filesystems, just like you can conceivably use 9P without
the ability to mount filesystems in the namespace, but the effect of
this is unclear.

I don't have a good understanding if the usual, desired mode of
operation is through the file system or through the protocols
directly, via libraries and commands.

[9fans] What exactly *is* 9pcloud?

[Ryan Gonzalez]

Seems like a "private" browser-local file hosting thingymajig? I'm
struggling to figure out why everything ends up disappearing from the
"Remote Filesystem" side, why the scrollbars are minuscule, and I just
really don't get it...

Re: [9fans] Update APE

[michaelian ennis]

I think the work that Erik Quanstrom did in on APE at is built in to 9
Atom. I attempted to put this up as a pull request to 0intro/plan9 but
nothing became of it.[1] Erik did this at least in part because an update
was needed for the 2.7 Python and Mercurial work that Jeff Sickle did for
Plan9 in 2013.[2]   They talked about the work at the 8th International
Workshop on Plan 9. [3]

Re: [9fans] Upspin - a respin of 9p?

[Charles Forsyth]

I see it as being orthogonal or complementary to various other existing
facilities, including 9P, ix, 9Pcloud, CliveTalk, etc, not competing or
replacing as such, although it obviously owes something to earlier
projects; and I think it can be immediately useful to me in various
contexts.
