Either after their website reorganization or as part of some general
cleanup, I'm no editor anymore.  I mailed Jeremy about putting the K16
announcement on the front page, but haven't heard of him yet.

In any case, I don't think this is appropriate for the kerneltrap front
page, it's totally alright to post in their GNU/Hurd forum, though.

It might be nice if we could get a prominent mention on www.gnu.org
if/when they announce the GNU project taking part in GSOC.
