Hi, I just showed the simple "hello world" translator to a fellow student who does FUSE stuff, and the reaction was 'wow, that's cool'.
More exactly what he does is creating a FUSE library which can interpret transparently represent files as directories (with much pain). After he did a presentation about that, I ssh'd to my private computer, started qemu via X11-forwarding (pain and suffering - slow!) with my Hurd installation and just did $ cat hello $ setrans hello /hurd/hello $ cat hello "Hello World" $ settrans -g hello $ cat hello And he was quite impressed, since he could directly see the potential in that. Even though I did it over X11-forwarding with a possible command rate of 2 per minute or so. So I think that's definitely a way to get people interested in the Hurd. I thought I'd share the experience with you :) If anyone is interested in his research papers on FUSE performance, justs ay so. I have his OK to pass them on.
