The only official item on the todo list before next release is: * Next release: ** transparent FTP working (from hurd TODO file) This seems to work, but is a bit buggy to.

I leak plenty of hints and tasks on the mailing lists, and sometimes people ask me about what to do and I make suggestions. There are also tasks lists in CVS and on the web (look at the Debian GNU/Hurd page) Nobody can say that it is hard to find a job related to Hurd. At least, if you really want to help and can't find anything, let me know [and provide a small description about what you like to do, so I can try a best match] :) Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
