<P>
If you want to contribute to the Hurd, you should first install and
use it for a while, to become familiar with its features and design.
To join the development team, subscribe to the
<a href="http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd">Bug-Hurd</a>
<a href="mailto:bug-hurd@gnu.org">&lt;bug-hurd@gnu.org&gt;</a>
mailing list, which is also the place where you can announce your
intentions, make your proposals and send in your patches.
(You can also send mail there without being subscribed to the list.)
<P>
There is also the <a
href="http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/hurd-devel-readers">
Hurd-devel-readers</a>
mailing list.  It is the read-only version of Hurd-devel, an internal
low-volume list restricted to the core developers of the Hurd.  If you
want to follow up on the discussion of the Hurd experts, please reply
to the Bug-hurd mailing list.  You can also follow the Hurd-devel
mailing list by browsing the <A
HREF="http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/hurd-devel/">web-based archive of
Hurd-devel</A>.

<h3><a href="#TOCmachinery" name="machinery">Machinery</a></h3>
<p>
If you don't have an own system to install GNU/Hurd on, you can be provided
with a shell account.  See <a
href="http://hurd.gnufans.org/bin/view/Hurd/PublicHurdBoxen">this wiki page</a>
for details.

<H3><A HREF="#TOCtasks" NAME="tasks">Tasks</A></H3>
<P>
Developing an operating system is a huge job, with a lot of different
things to do.  To be able to keep track of issues, we use a
<ul>
  <li><a
    href="http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=browse&set=open&group=hurd">bug
    tracker</a> to register and comment on bugs, a
  <li><a
    href="http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?func=browse&set=open&group=hurd">task
    tracker</a> for tasks people could work on and a
  <li><a
    href="http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?func=browse&set=open&group=hurd">patch
    tracker</a> where people can install their patches.
</ul>
There is also an older (but still valid) list of specific items in the
<A HREF="http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/~checkout~/hurd/hurd/tasks?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain">task file</A>
and in the
<A HREF="http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/~checkout~/hurd/hurd/TODO?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain">TODO file</A>
of the Hurd source repository.
