Hello all!

A little off topic (so I've changed the subject of the thread),
but, what happened / happens with the XCPU project?
Is it discontinued, or it has a successor? Maybe it is still developed?

I've tried the thing about year ago -- I had some issues setting
it up but it worked in the end -- and it seemed interesting and
manageable (as compared with what I've tried to play before (Globus,
etc.)) I also hopped that at least `xget` would become stable.

Are there any good pointers about where to look next? (I've seen
that IBM is involved in a US funded project to replace the Linux-like
OS for BlueGene with a Plan9 OS, but no more news...)

Thanks,
Ciprian.

I hope we are not letting this domain expire !

Letting domains of (once?) worthy projects drop into the dirty claws
of squatters is a really sad thing to do.

If nobody else wants to do it, I can take care of it, I already
babysit a few other domains like that and is little extra work.
