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?

*    VCS conversion filesystem
