Thank you for doing this! Reliable financing of Free Software
infrastructure and improvement is still one of the big unsolved
problems.

I’m not the right person to answer your questions how to best spend
money on the Hurd. I wrote articles about the biggest roadblocks around
10 years ago, but I don’t know how well it reflects the current state:
http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/community/weblogs/ArneBab/what_we_need.html
I know even less who is able to take money for working on an aspect of
the Hurd. I got a project financed to do some work on sound on the Hurd.
Best wishes,
Arne
