The main reason I would like to know what needs to be done is that I want to get the paper work in for this class filled out and on the independent study form I have to write some shpeil about what this study is about and what I am going to accomplish, etc. So any information about what needs to be done would be much appreciated. I can then pick something to do. :) Here are some things that I'd like too see in the Hurd: * A POSIX shared memory implementation. Shouldn't be too difficult using Mach's memory objects. * POSIX clocks & timers. Involves added support for these things to GNU Mach (looks like there's something in CMU's MK84 release). * The infamous shadowfs (nifty union mount done in a Hurdish way). * Redesigning the console. Having something really basic in the kernel (perhaps only a framebuffer with some basic functionality for printing kernel messages, i.e. simple ASCII strings) and provide a server that implements the actual terminal device in user space on top of that.
