I know what Plan 9 is, but I have no idea what this website is about, what they're trying to say, who they are, etc.

The very first sentence on the page states:

"Plan9front (or 9front) is a fork of the Plan 9 from Bell Labs operating system. The project was started to remedy a perceived lack of devoted development resources inside Bell Labs,[citation needed] and has accumulated various fixes and improvements."

What's so confusing about that?

They've changed it now, it's much better.
