Seconded. If the Hurd was so useable that its developers could run off it, a lot more issues would be fixed. -- I guess so, too. > > > o Highly integrate the community. > > > > > > The more people who work, the more people will join... > > > > I think we have to do more than passively wait for people to join. > > > > True, but not much more.

The Hurd is presently standing still in public knowledge -- alas, no people will join the movement. In an attempt at making this mail longer than it has to be, I'll briefly digest the community we're looking to integrate into: - GNU-loving folks, who are mostly found in Debian - Efficiency-loving folks, who will be found where performance is optimal -- whether that is a question of eyecandy or filesystem- stability. Could we (I dare say ``we'') integrate more GNU-lovers, these people will eventually lift the project to where the second group will join.
