Re: Mailing list administration
Would you all please stop fooling around with the addresses? It's odd, having conversations drop off and then reappear randomly. I'm not subscribed to all of the Hurd lists, so this is rather odd. That being said..I really wish some people involved with the Hurd were more cooperative and peaceful. That seems like the biggest roadblock to any kind of real development: lots of things are stopped and hindered because people are always getting into silly quarrels and arguments, or sustaining their view on a point with nothing much more than a personal vendetta. For example, if Mr. Szmidt hadn't said "No", Thomas would now have control of the list (to the praises of everyone who controls and uses the list, other than ams). Someone who cares a lot about Hurd development and has been working very hard would be running it - instead, Mr. Szmidt continues his perpetual stubornness. I hate to start a flame, but this is getting rediculous. When I found the Hurd project, I thought it showed a huge amount of potential. I read all the docs, and I liked everything behind it. As time went on though, that decreased. After mailing list arguments about derrogatory CVS tags, personal arguments, and stubbornness about topics that really don't matter, I don't see any way that the Hurd can ever become something complete and useful unless people cooperate more.

Google's Summer of Code 2006
Hi! For those who don't know it yet: Google's Summer of Code, http://code.google.com/soc/>, is a project organized by Google where capable students can sign up to work on tasks (software projects) that are offered my mentoring parties. A pecuniary aid is also involved. See the above URL for details (or ask me). The GNU project is participating in this year's Summer of Code, which leads to question if the Hurd project, being part of the GNU project, is also going to offer some tasks and evaluate tasks which might possibly be submitted by the potential workmen themselves. I could imagine handling the task of mentoring with the help of the whole Hurd community. That is, I'd be the official mentor for the projects we're going to submit. But for sure I'll need a backup who would at least care at the times I won't be available, especially for two weeks in August (which is near the end of the project), which I'll most probably spend with a concert band in Canada, perhaps without any possibilities to work on the Summer of Code stuff. Who could also imagine being a mentor for the Summer of Code? Possible projects I thought about submitting include `libchannel', `pfinet rewrite', `nfs / nfsd rewrite / enhancement', `GNU Mach on Xen'. If you have ideas for other projects, please don't hesitate to tell me. It is also possible that you come up with suggestions for projects which you then consider yourself applying for. Please hurry up with your answers; the deadline for submitting the proposals is quickly getting nearer.

It will not be surprise to anyone that I consider Xen port for the most important one :-) I would just like to mention the 2 major reasons for classifying it as "the most important": this task will be of great help in stabilizing GNU Mach and it will "provide" us the latest Linux network and block device drivers without need for updating them.

Stacks with a design in which extensions could be plugged would be great (there's a bunch of extensions for IP). Translators --- - WebDAV - SFTP - SSH-FS - NFS - Coda - CIFS/SMB A caching translator that could be used to serve the output of an arbitrary program could be useful (e.g. foo.html is the output of 'xslt foo.xml bar.xsl').

This sounds really appealing to me. If I have the right to do it with Vim, I'll be happy. ;-) I think that's a great idea to install this. Getting rid of the Web interface, for us getting used to work on code in our favorite editor, would be a great enhancement, I think.
