Depends on what skills you have.

Are you a very hard core C Programmer?  The threads implementation needs 
help, and the pfinet (networking) server is unhappy right now.

Are you a mere mortal like the rest of us?  Alot of packages (like pmake, 
and tree) refer to constants like PATH_MAX, and MAXHOSTNAMELEN that don't 
exist on the Hurd.  Porting packages like these is always great.

Do you like writing documentation?  The Hurd web page team needs help 
web-hurd@gnu.org

Are you a C++ programmer?  I'd *really* like a nice class wrapper around 
trivfs, and I haven't had enough time to sit down and design it.  This 
will have to be maintained outside of the regular Hurd stuff, since the 
core programmers don't use C++.
