First thing to do then is to get access to a GNU/Hurd system.  Installing
Debian GNU/Hurd, <http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/hurd/running/debian/>,
will probably be the easiest and most feature-complete solution.  If you
don't have spare hardware to use for doing so, you can also get a shell
account on a public hurd machine, see
<http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/public_hurd_boxen/>.  Depending on the
things you're going to work on (and on your internet connection), this
may be an easy way of getting used to Hurd systems.

Then you can either play around and eventually strive to do something
useful or -- if you want -- ask us to assign something to you, depending
on the skills you have and the resources you intend to invest.

See <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/devel.html> for details,
<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/docs.html> for documents,
<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/> in general and also the wiki at
<http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/>.

Some tasks, for example, would be those:
<http://www.schwinge.homeip.net/~thomas/tmp/glibc-patches/0012-r2425-of-debian-patches-hurd-i386-local-no-strerror_.patch>,
<http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?18218>,
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2007-11/msg00026.html>.
