places where discussion occurs. That's why the board discusses this.

Sadly even Big 8 crossposts to several news.* newsgroups which are often dead and moderated. That does not help from my view. One just read the same article in several newsgroups and in case of a follow up wasting some time to figure out, where to post.
It is probably hard to take any decision how to adjust Usenet for current state and time. Obviously also next step, how to make it technically happen.
I assume nobody is expecting that millions of users will jump in and start using Usenet again. This should be probably considered and many things adjusted just for smaller group of users.

Can somebody ask at the place where the plan 9 people currently discuss
if there is interest?

Some serious discussion even with original authors or people who were around Plan 9 in that time is taking place on mentioned 9fans mailing list.
I already let them know about this MVI.

Not sure if Rob Pike can now use Usenet after Google trashed it ;/
