I'm not sure what you are saying here. Do you mean you want to work on *creating* a Hurd variant of gNewSense; or you want to do other work based on one?... As far as I know, gNewSense doesn't provide a Hurd variant so far -- or at least we never heard about one. > Please give guidelines and steps to take to teach the necessary > habilities for them to actively develop Hurd. They are new to GNU and > have only basic bash experience. Well, the students will surely need a *lot* of guidance in the beginning -- especially if they have little general UNIX experience... So I guess the first step is for *you* to learn your ways around the Hurd project, so you can in turn teach them :-) General information about getting involved in Hurd development can be found on http://gnu.org/s/hurd/contributing.html Of course we will gladly answer any further question that come up -- preferably on bug-hurd@gnu.org or in IRC (#hurd on irc.freenode.net). We are looking forward to hearing more about this :-) -antrik-
