Alfred is right, everyone has this mentality of being told what to do when it comes to the HURD. Most other projects just receive patches daily. Why?When it comes to the HURD there is too much idealism involved (not that this is a bad thing). People think it is their duty to contribute something so that the HURD prevails and becomes as popular of a system as GNU/Linux. The reality?

Contribute what you _can_, any contribution is good, documentation is good, web pages are good, it doesn't matter, any little thing, everything is important seriously, not just the code.One last note, how can you even ask what to contribute (code-wise) if you haven't even looked at the code? How contradictory is that? Because I can guarantee that once you have you will see that there is _PLENTY_ to do.
Since I was bugged this much to write this long pointless email, I thought I would use this energy for something constructive. Attached is a sample page that could be put on the L4-Hurd Web Page that might find some use. Thanks
