You need to move to using wml. But that's entirely painless. I can do
the initial tranformation, if you like. If you wish to, you can be given
CVS access (probably - it's not actually mine to give, but Jay's recent
emphasis has been decentralising responsibillity). Or you can liase via
me.

So would I, very much. I don't have the expertise to do this. Someone
who does, please step forward.

I am aware of the hurd effort. Iam indeed subscribed to the mailing list.
However, it is not a port of Linux to another architecture, which an
accompanying port of Debian, but rather a port of Debian to another
kernel. Maybe it should go on ports, for lack of a better place to put
it, but it seems somehow different.
