Fork of 9Front

Goals

*

Separate non-free software from free software. Make sure non-free software is not downloaded by default but instead placed in a separate repository.

*

Replace Aladdin Ghostscript with freely licensed version

*

Allow contributions from any free license, whether it is GPL or BSD. All licenses must respect the four basic freedoms. Avoid discrimination based on licenses. Create a tolerant base for users with different beliefs and skill levels.

*

Accessibility for blind, Keyboard-only access: -- Write Serial Console Guide

*

Fix VNC server bug; slows to a crawl after long uptime

*

Add protection against bitrot in file system

*

Write Plan101 course

*

Support all Linux and BSDs (?)

*

Provide 9fs for every operating system

*

Port Drawterm to every platform:

*

iOS -- may be impossible, use vncs instead

*

Android

*

Linux

*

Debian

*

OpenSuSE

*

FreeBSD, NetBSD?

*

Keep plan9port up to date for every platform

*

Inferno?

*

Host files -- tech books, gutenberg.org, RFCs, librivox, wikipedia, survival books

*

Add filesystems: ircfs, xmppfs, matrixfs, check nntpfs, activitypubfs, check gopherfs, geminifs, check rssfs

Low Priority

*

Perhaps: searchable package manager with prebuilt binaries

*

Write free drivers for wifi

*

Write a working firewall

*

VCS conversion filesystem

*

Dynamically generated filesystem? like CGI

*

file type conversion filesystem?

*

overload existing grammar for shell verbs (commands), prepositions (pipes)

Obsolete:

*

Get working servers for:

*

IRC

*

psybnc fork

*

DNS ([delphinusdnsd][1])

*
