-# Porting Applications
-
-Debian is currently the Hurd distribution of choice among Hurd
-users and developers. Approximately half of the Debian archive
-has been compiled successfully on the Hurd, however, many
-programs fail to build for various reasons. A [list of build
-failures including error messages](http://unstable.buildd.net/buildd/hurd-i386_Failed.html)
-can be found, as well as a [preliminary analysis](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2007/07/msg00000.html)
-of them. If you want to port any of these, file patches in the
-[Alioth patch tracker](http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?atid=410472&group_id=30628&func=browse)
- for review. It might be a good idea to record your intention
-to port something in the [Alioth task tracker](http://alioth.debian.org/pm/task.php?group_project_id=34&group_id=30628&func=browse) so other people do not do duplicated work. You can also just
-install the Hurd and find what doesn't work for you and port
-it and then file patches for that package in [above patch tracker](http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?atid=410472&group_id=30628&func=browse).
-Another important task is making sure that patches go upstream as
-well, especially for GNU projects.
-
-If you want to further development, a list of interesting
-projects is available in the [Alioth task tracker](http://alioth.debian.org/pm/task.php?group_project_id=35&group_id=30628&func=browse).
-Those projects are not necessarily Debian specific, but do
-not touch the Hurd proper.
-
-# Hurd Proper
-
-If you are interested in developping the Hurd proper, there is
-plenty of work to do. Before you can significantly contribute,
-take some time to learn about the system, e.g.,
-[[microkernels_for_beginners|microkernel/for_beginners]]. Until you can do the basic exercises
-listed there, you won't be able to significantly contribute to
-the Hurd.
-
-See the [[ToDo]].
-
-# GNU Mach
-
-GNU Mach is the underlying microkernel used by the Hurd. It has
-a number of deficencies; [[mach/gnumach/RevivalProject]].
