+In the past few months the Hurd got quite many commits.
+
+I want to write a bit about the changes they brought, and what they mean to the Hurd.
+
+If some of my comments seem too 'simple' to you, just ignore them :)
+
+First we got many Bug fixes from Samuel Thibault, mainly in libpthread (multithreading), ext2fs and libdiskfs (both filesystem interaction).
+
+Then hurd-l4 (the port of the Hurd on the L4 kernel) seems to get quite much love by Neal H. Walfield (neal) at the moment.
+Quite much is saying a bit to little: hurd-l4 looks steamingly active in the commits :)
+
+And there is the PyHurd project. It attempts to create a full binding to the GNU/Hurd API, so people should someday be able to, for example, create translators in Python.
+
+There's been more - a lot more in fact, but much of it is above my coding horizon, and this entry shall end someplace (it's late - too late :) ).
+
+Best wishes,
+Arne
