Random ideas
Ideas
for
what
can
be
done,
development-wise,
in
connection
with
Plan
9.
New
software,
features
in
the
existing
programs,
documents,
posts,
propaganda
images,
anything
that
people
can
work
on.
It
is
a
good
idea
to
put
your
username
with
the
idea
so
people
know
who
added
it.
Furthermore,
you
can
link
to
other
pages
if
you
want
to
provide
more
information.
Please
don't
forget
to
add
information
if
you
already
have
some
work
in
progress.
