For information on editing, see the description of Plan 9 wiki syntax.
GOAL Basic idea is to create a series of short (~10 minutes) well-edited tutorial introductions to Plan 9 as well as short talks on underlying philosophy and design principles. The idea is to follow the example of the (better) Google Code YouTube videos and provide a path for folks to learn a bit more about Plan 9. The idea is to mix lecture, screen videos, and discussion to hopefully encourage more of an interactive experience.
