<!--firstoff: Just noting all changes i can make sense of :). Next step: Writing how each advances the Hurd and removing those which are hard to comprehend for newcomers.-->

* the Arch Hurd folks wrote a [Year of Arch Hurd](http://www.barrucadu.co.uk/year-of-arch-hurd), wrapping up their successes, including GHAMP (GNU/Hurd, Apache, MySQL, and PHP), Xorg and their [Arch Hurd LiveCD](http://www.archhurd.org/gethurd.php#livecd).
-* Also we started preparing for GSoC 2011 - if you are interested in contributing, why not drop by <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-02/msg00000.html>
-* And Etenil and others improved the help output of the crucial settrans command: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-02/msg00011.html>
-And finally we got [mentioned by xkcd](http://www.explainxkcd.com/2011/01/07/good-code/) as an example of writing good code (though the resolution does not really do the Hurd justice, as it ignores that it got into a state in which these news can be written in the Hurd itself, even though it has very few active developers. If you want to see how much difference *you* can make, just ask Svante).
+* Also Etenil and others [improved the help output](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-02/msg00011.html) of the crucial settrans command, which is used throughout the Hurd from mounting file systems to setting up the network.

+Finally we got a nice [mention by xkcd](http://www.explainxkcd.com/2011/01/07/good-code/) as an example of writing (too) good code (though the resolution does not really do the Hurd justice, as it ignores that it got into a state in which these news can be written in the Hurd itself, even though it has very few active developers. If you want to see how much difference *you* can make, just ask Svante).
