+# Ideas

+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:

+*   Make it easy to port existing UNIX applications

+*   X11 -- just use unix and install plan9port

+*   Get working servers for:

+    *   IRC

+    *   psybnc fork

+    *   DNS ([delphinusdnsd][1])

+*   HTTP server: provide compatibility with most web apps
