The link I saw, somewhere, said it was "forthcoming" Ghostwriting, sure. I can do that, and I think that the really important thing is that we get the documentation out for programmers who can help us. It would be awesome if oskit-mach was so well documented that cs students would study it as part of their schooling.

A book would be great, but I think some practical thinking would be a good thing. I admit, even though I have graduated, I'm severely shackled by student loans. I pay $800 a month on student loans, so I have to work a lot to keep paid up. I would like to make some bucks on a book, but in the case of Hurd and Mach, we are decades early. Our best bet would be to sell an online document for a pittance, say $10 or so. Let the reader print it out and do whatever, and we donate a couple bucks from that to GNU and split the rest. RMS has written a shitload of books and I hope he gets rich. I don't care about being rich, but I really don't like $800 per month student loan bills either. Hey, I'll write a book, and I'd love to give it away for free, but the fact is that I am suffering from poverty and suspect you are too. As you can see from this lengthy reply, I can type like the wind! Seriously, though, Hurd really needs a good microkernel doc base. With Linux it doesn't matter so much because Linus rules, but in Hurd we want a lot of people to help so the best way is to give them good instructions. I will be glad to help in any way that I can, and I don't mind typing at all. Good Friday... Our Lord is Dead - Beware :-( Regards, - Doug
