-> This month Philip Charles created a new [LiveCD](http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian-cd/current/) for the Hurd, 
-> which brings us a big step towards installing the Hurd from the Hurd
-> (without the need of a Linux based installer). 
-> If you enjoy testing stuff, please give it a try. 
-> 
-> Also Thomas Schwinge migrated the [nsmux](http://www.bddebian.com/~hurd-web/hurd/translator/nsmux/)
-> and cl-hurd *(lisp bindings)* repos into 
-> our [git repositories on Savannah](https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=hurd),
-> making them easier to access for other contributors.

+> This month Philip Charles created a new [installation
+> CD](http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian-cd/current/), the [L
+> series](http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian-cd/current/README-L1-disc-set),
+> for the Hurd, which brings us a big step towards installing the Hurd from the
+> Hurd (without the need of a Linux-based installer).  If you enjoy testing
+> stuff, please give it a try.
+
+> On the same front, Michael Banck uploaded a new version of
+> [crosshurd](http://packages.debian.org/sid/crosshurd) that makes it again
+> possible to use this package for creating a GNU/Hurd system image directly
+> from Debian unstable packages.
+
+> Also, Thomas Schwinge migrated Sergiu Ivanov's [[hurd/translator/nsmux]],
+> [[Flávio Cruz|flaviocruz]]' cl-hurd *(clisp bindings)*, and Carl Fredrik
+> Hammar [[hurd/libchannel]] repositories into our new [*incubator* Git
+> repository](http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/incubator.git/), making
+> them easier to access for other contributors.
+
+> Our bunch of porters continued to make further Debian packages usable on
+> GNU/Hurd: Pino Toscano worked on a lot of packages, and Wesley W. Terpstra
+> made [mlton](http://packages.debian.org/sid/mlton) build -- together with
+> Samuel Thibault, who first had to enhance [[GNU
+> Mach|microkernel/mach/gnumach]] to support allocating more than 1 GiB of RAM
+> to one user-space process, which mlton needs.
 
+> On the go, Samuel also fixed a number of other bugs here and there, for
+> example together with Eric Blake and Roland McGrath hashed out a difficile
+> issue in the filesystem servers regarding POSIX conformance and system
+> stability.
