This year the GNU Hurd had again been assigned one slot within
the <strong>Google Summer of Code</strong> program, which was assigned
to the task <strong>design and
implement <a href="http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?1619"><em>libchannel</em></a>,
a library for streams</strong>.  Carl Fredrik Hammar has been working on this
task and
recently <a href="http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2007-09/msg00009.html">posted
a summary</a> about the successful work he had been doing, but also gave an
outline about how he intends to continue improving and extending it.
