There are a couple of unofficial file system translators at:
http://www.nongnu.org/hurdextras/
Many of them are still buggy and unmaintained. Possible tasks would
include picking one, checking its status, fixing bugs, and maybe
create Debian packages so that they're readily available to Hurd
users.
Also, we're currently having some trouble with the select() function
(see [1]). There are other issues as well, so feel free to browse the
"open issues" page on the website.

By the way, I notice your reply is private. Was this intended? If
you're more confortable with private conversation for now it's fine
with me, but keep in mind I might be less available than the list as a
whole. OTOH if this was an oversight, feel free to forward both our
emails to the list.
In any case, thank you for your interest in Hurd!
