I'm interested in improving Hurd's hardware support, probably working on the development of user-space device drivers[0], most likely the rump kernel integration. I see that Robert Millan has made some remarkable progress in that area, and I'd like to help.
As I don't like to take credit for someone else's work, I'd just like to point out the groundwork for user-space driver support was already there and my effort has been basically to put the pieces together in a different way. I think it's mostly Zheng Da's merit. That said I think Rump opens up a lot of interesting possibilities. I'm glad to see interest in that. Which particular area do you have in mind? I was planning to ask for advice on how to make a "/dev/audio -> librump0" translator sometime soon. I've written similar a glue layer for Linux [1], but I'm missing a lot of knowledge when it comes to the Hurd way of doing this (like, how to service ioctls without libtrivfs?).
