If you asked for a feature in Plan 9, you were usually told to go _ yourself, the blank usually being 'write it' but many other suggestions were also common. XML is the hated enemy, if you don't like the colors, edit the source code, Emacs is the devil, what other platforms, and 9P is the only protocol anyone will ever need. 9fans is the official mailing list Dan, you should know that. I think you are characterising us as a bit hostile. We are rightly dubious about the merits of XML. Emacs is just a tool on another system. I would say "Go write it yourself" is a usual response from a small group of devs working unpaid on a project. Considering the number of non 9p protocols implemented in plan9 I think you are being rather unfair.
