personally I find the term newbie to be derogatory. anyone with the smarts
and guts to try their hand at hacking the hurd deserves my repect. that is
why i refer to them as new developers.

Would it make sense to send this Orientation Paper to every fresh
subscribed list member? It would make a good, friendly impression to
newbies.
Would it be a big problem to incorporate this in the list server
subscription mechanism?
Would it be helpful to set up a list of projects with some status info
and names/adresses of supporters, to post few weeks.
People willing to port/code/hack would have a handy overview, and people
who look for the situation at the Hurd would see if/that something is
going on here.
You'r welcome to comment.
