I also know very little about complex programing needed for operating 
systems developing: C,C++,Pascal,very little about assembler: I only 
know how to write an "hello world" porgram in assembler or read and make 
simple arhitmethical operations to numbers using dos functions of the 21 
interrupt,and some visual programaing: c builder and I have tryed kylix, 
and under unix like enviroments except kylix I only made some very 
simple programs using gcc as a compiler. Next year I will learn 
artificial inteligence and how to control something(an industrial 
process, a robot, etc) using a computer, I thing that this is connected 
to C++ and assembler and C builder from what I saw in my universityes 
computers(i am an control engineering and industrial informatics (or 
applied informatics I don't know the right term in English) student). I 
also know how to use a linux operating system and how to compile a linux 
kernel and do "things" ("stuff" :) ) using linux.
So, given my background, how can I help for the hurd?
Tell me something concrete, for example "go to this address and learn 
this manuals", or "make this stuff until monday", or "learn python using 
the manuals from www.????? enough to make an ???? program " etc..
