- - Most obviously, plan9port derives from - Plan 9 from Bell Labs - and would not exist without the work of the Plan 9 team over the - past many years. - -

- - Many people have provided help, - ported programs, written bug reports, - sent useful patches, and gotten plan9port running on new - operating systems. A few have done far more than their fair share. - -

- - Rob Pike suggested the original X11 port of libdraw years ago, - as part of drawterm, and strongly encouraged the Mac OS X work. - He has also been a consistent source of good ideas to hide - the ugliness of modern Unix. - -

- - William Josephson handled - troff(1) - (with Taj Khattra) and many of - the supporting programs. He also inspired the recent thread library - clean-up and has ported a handful of applications. - -

- - Andrey Mirtchovski and Axel Belinfante have done significant - work dealing with X11 corner cases and fine-tuning - rio(1). - Axel never tires of finding bugs in the SunOS port. - -

- - Eric Van Hensbergen brought the system up on Linux/PowerPC. - -
