+[[meta title="Port the Debian Installer to the Hurd"]]
+
+The primary means of distributing the Hurd is through Debian GNU/Hurd.
+However, the installation CDs presently use an ancient, non-native installer.
+The situation could be much improved by making sure that the newer *Debian
+Installer* works on the Hurd.
+
+Some preliminary work has been done, see
+<http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Hurd>.
+
+The goal is to have the Debian Installer fully working on the Hurd. It
+requires relatively little Hurd-specific knowledge.
+
+Possible mentors: Samuel Thibault (youpi)
+
+Exercise: Try to get one piece of the installer running on Hurd.
