OK, no problem with starting such a thing. There just has to be someone to do it :-). And, good news: parts of it already exist. Some examples: * <http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/hurd/contributing/>. * <http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/microkernel/mach/gnumach/building/> -- fairly complete and up-to-date. * <http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/microkernel/mach/mig/building/> -- likewise. * <http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/hurd/building/> -- incomplete. * <http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/hurd/debugging/> -- evolving. For example, just yesterday I added <http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/hurd/debugging/hurd/>. > that provides a step-by-step > explanation of setting up a Hurd development box, [...] > Should I create patches against the savannah CVS [...] Might be good to add all these items you collected to the discussion subpage of `hurd/contributing'. Again, feel invited to create it. <http://www.bddebian.com/cgi-bin/wiki-ikiwiki.cgi?page=discussion&from=hurd%2Fcontributing&do=create> > I've already found answers to some of these on #hurd but I'm afraid > they'll get tired of me asking too many dumb questions eventually. :) #hurd can be ``callous'', so don't worry about that. The most displeasing thing to happen is when people start ignoring you. But it's a long way. ;-) > Here's an example that explains this sort of stuff for new Linux > hackers: > > http://www.linuxchix.org/content/courses/kernel_hacking/lesson0 > > It goes through preparing the development environment, downloading and > configuring the source, creating and submitting patches (including > political considerations), and then goes into the technical stuff about > the kernel code. If that is a useful structure, then we can surely create something analogous. First the structure and then people can piece by piece fill it with information. Regards, Thomas
