I know this will require deep changes on the Hurd, and that it will take time. But i am unable to find proper documentation/guidelines for the task.
See the hurd-l4 module in the Hurd CVS repo. - There are some official (commonly accepted) strategy for the Hurd development? Fix what you consider broken, add features where you think they are missing. Is what I have always followed, and has always worked. What is the problem with the Hurd? Lack of proper direction? Lack of hackers? Lack of documentation? Lack of ...? What is the problem, really? We need to know it in order to fix it. There is no problem, but the lack of imagination from those who wish to hack I think. I never really considered it a problem to know what to hack on in any free software project, you fix what is broken, and you implement what is missing. I am ready to hack, but i should know what to hack. Fix ftpfs so it works correctly and well. Use GNU/Hurd as your main system, report bugs, fix them. Fixing nfs (mmap support) and nfsd (so it doesn't crash if you do something) would be nice. Write documentation, update the Hurd reference manual. And that is just the top of my head, if you want more complex things you can implement libchannel (libstore for streams), and add support for sound, USB or whatever. Or you could help out with Hurd/L4. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
