+[[meta title="Porting GNAT"]]
+
+The GNU Ada Translator (GNAT) isn't available for the Hurd so far. There are
+also a number of other Debian packages depending on GNAT, and thus not
+buildable on the Hurd.
+
+The goal of this project is getting GNAT fully working in Debian GNU/Hurd. It
+requires implementing some explicitely system-specific stuff in GNAT, and maybe
+fixing a few other problems. Good knowledge of Ada is a must; some Hurd
+knowledge will have to be aquired while working on the project.
+
+Possible mentors:
+
+Exercise: Fix one of the problems preventing GNAT from working on the Hurd.
