We also have [email protected], which might be more apropriate for questions which are not Debian-related. > What is the proper way to become involved (in whatever small capacity > I am able) in the Hurd development project ? The proper way is to do useful work. If you don't find this answer helpful, I can only say that you have various choices: You can work on the Hurd itself, porting of packages for Debian GNU/Hurd, extending some programs to make use of Hurd-specific features, write documentation etc. Find something you are interested in, it should not be too hard, as there is enough work to do. Also read the web pages carefully, especially <http://hurd.gnu.org/> and <http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/>. You will find a lot of useful information there, like how to submit patches, how to port packages and so on. > Are there coding standards I must adhere to? Like all (well, almost all) GNU software, the Hurd follows the GNU Coding Standards. There are no addition written rules for Hurd-related code yet, but after reading some a lot of the source code of the Hurd, you might notice some typical patterns. > Who is the main person I should contact in this regard? I don't think there is any single person you need to contact. Just start contributing.
