1 * Bring over various trivial but useful command-line programs:
2 cal
3 calendar
4 date
5 diff
6 echo
7 ed
8 hoc
10 * Libdraw
11 - should implement the alt sequences for unicode composition
12 the code is in drawterm, just needs to be pulled in.
13 - snarf code doesn't work on mac os?
15 * Plumber
16 - need to redefine how you find and talk to the plumber,
17 probably using named pipes or unix sockets.
18 - hook samterm up to the plumber
19 - now trivial to plumb to web browser!
21 * 9term
22 - would be great to have a 9term lookalike that was
23 a little more faithful (or, better, like acme win)
25 * Acme
26 - once have a plumber, might not be too hard to
27 redo the file system interface as a text rpc
28 over unix domain sockets.
29 - until then, the x11 "ion" window manager is an
30 interesting half-way point. perhaps it makes
31 more sense to split acme's editing into tightly
32 coupled separate programs (perhaps communicating
33 via the plumber?) and then have acme be
34 a window manager a bit like ion?
36 * Mail
37 - no ideas here
39 * Venti
40 - server port is in progress (actually done, but with an
41 earlier library set).
42 - vac is easy to port
43 - need way to mount vacs. have all the code for a /vac file
44 system (e.g., cd /vac/68b329da9893e34099c7d8ad5cb9c940da9393e3)
45 but need to put it together.
47 * Dump
48 - have a dump file system that sits on the side of ffs,
49 backing up disk images to venti. a loopback NFS server
50 serves the backed-up images.
51 needs cleanup and release. should be easy to add ext2,
52 fat. ntfs harder but possible.
