Hello, I don't have the time just yet, but I am interested in working on Glendix in the near future. Exactly how much has yet to be done?
Part of my interest is because I am wondering whether rio could be implemented on top of Wayland, he upcoming "replacement" for X. Wayland isn't particularly like rio, but neither is X, and building off wayland should bring in less POSIX or other annoying dependencies. Also Wayland biggest drawback is the lack of networking transparency. The devs have decided to push that problem down the road. Implementing rio on Wayland should at the very least inspire ideas for remote graphics and Wayland, and possibly interest other developers in Plan9 and Glendix.
