Hi Tom,
Welcome to the Hurd!

The best way is to just run the Hurd yourself,¹ learn what it can do for you
and write the documentation you would have liked to have when you started ☺
Or, if you have a knack for journalism, you might want to start the
month/quarter of the Hurd again (I haven’t been able to write those for a few
years now due to limited time, but they had a pretty big impact - my happiest
moment was when in a discussion someone said “isn’t the Hurd dead” and someone
else gave a link to the most recent month of the hurd in reply: “no, it isn’t:
the Hurd is alive and well!”). See

When writing the qoth, keep in mind to never promise anything: Only show what
was done with a link to something people can test (when they are willing to
extend sufficient effort).
