+0. (before GSoC) Read up on the current C-interface to the Hurd and Cython. Especially grok the Hurd hacking guide. Add docstrings to all existing source files explaining what they do. Add auto-generated API-docs. Deliverable: Easy to understand API-docs of the current PyHurd, a simple way to generate them from the sources. 2 Weeks.
+1. Check the API.
+ 1. Implement a Hello World translator, naivly implementing the necessary Mach parts, as example to test the current API.
+ 2. redesign and realize an updated low-level API.
+ 3. design a pythonic high-level API for translators.
+2. Realize a pythonic trivfs library and an example translator using it.
+3. Mid-Term: trivfs works. Push the code to https://github.com/ArneBab/PyHurd
+4. Implement more complex and specialized translator libraries, along with example translators.
+5. Re-implement some hurd specific utils in pyhurd such as settrans.
+6. Push the final code to https://github.com/ArneBab/PyHurd

Also I can learn more about accessing low-level interfaces directly (as opposed to just using higher level abstractions) and grok the ins and outs of creating Python extensions - into which I wanted to dive for a long time now.
