Just to support that statement: I'm a gentoo user with some experience with
the Hurd and would definitely pay more attention it if such a project arises.
And of course I hope to contibute something to it :).
Please pardon me my question: why won't you contribute to Hurd
directly now? Especially that you have some experience with it ;-) I'm
just curious, please don't think I meant something offensive with the
