Still, I'd try my luck on the debian-hurd mailing list. There are not only
full time developers on that list. People just trying out the hurd are
welcomed there as well.
The occassional thread on the hurd does pop up on this list from time to
time, but then usually about things like: 'why is it still not ready?'
or 'will it ever replace linux?'
Good luck,
David
