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.

Thanks,
