RE: please send structures of what you are building for hurd.gnu.org

[Jim Franklin]

Hi Ognyan,
 sounds good. I would like to keep the l4-hurd and alpha page in a separate
section since they are part of the porting effort as is the debian GNU/Hurd
project. I beleive that the porting efforts should have their own section as
it is an important part of the hackers (developers) section.

Thx
Jim

Hi,

My stuff is in http://debian.fmi.uni-sofia.bg/~ogi/hurd/hurd.gnu.org/

One is glibc-hurd-api.html that lists and describes Hurd-specific functions
in glibc 2.2.2 that can be used by programs.  This content must go in Glibc
Reference Manual and then it is going to disappear from hurd.gnu.org.

The other is gnumach.html.  It contains information about GNU Mach
(obviously:) and i tried to include more information in it.  Its sections
must be split in separate files when put in hurd.gnu.org.  This page is
definately not finished.  After it's considered finished it will be
presented in bug-hurd and web-hurd for further bug fixing (i'm not a
native English speaker and i can't tell that i understand GNU Mach well
yet).  I'm hoping to finish the page till the end of the week.

About structure.

"About the Hurd" and "Whatis?" must be merged.  They answer the question
"What is the Hurd and why it is so great?"

"Software" and "Trying out the Hurd" must be merged.  Their content is about
installation.  All sources of information about installing must be included
(Neal's installation guide, debian.org page for installation).

"About Microkernels" can become "GNU Mach".  I plan to write about
first-generation (Mach, Chorus, L3) and second-generation (L4) microkernels
in gnumach.html.  l4-hurd.html will be included in that part.  Another
option is Micrkernels-centric structure, not GNUMach-centric.
