* A release creation framework
-One of the points which keep people from using the HURD is that it never looks like it is in a working state. To get attention from people (and the press, etc.) the HURD needs releases, and doing a release should be as simple as submitting a changelog and release notes and tagging the code, ideally done with only one simple command.

-It should include automatic publishing of the press release to selected weblogs and newssites, as well as preparing and uploading the release to visible servers and creating images of the HURD to be used in free virtualization software and livecds ( an example livecd: http://people.debian.org/~neal/hurd-live-cd/ ), so people can test the features at once.
