+Hurd; IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2012-03-02:
+
+    <youpi> yay GNU/Hurd  
+    <youpi> I have added i_translator check in e2fsck, it was missing  
+    <youpi> I had a volume that was keeping making ext2fs crash  
+    <youpi> with a reproductible scenario  
+    <youpi> could easily work out it was i_translator, then add a
+      check to e2fsck, run it, which indeed fixed, them, and voilà,
+      ext2fs was working again
+    <youpi> all that on the same machine with *no* system reboot  
+    <youpi> just ext2fs restart :)
+
+
+So if you want to [reason for contibuting to the Hurd],
+please [[get in contact|contact_us]] -- and maybe already grab the [[source
+code|source_repositories]].

+
+The **GNU Hurd** is the GNU project's replacement for the Unix kernel.  It is a
+collection of servers that run on the Mach microkernel to implement file
+systems, network protocols, file access control, and other features that are
+implemented by the Unix kernel or similar kernels (such as Linux).  [[More
+detailed|hurd/documentation]].
+
+**GNU Mach** is the microkernel upon which a GNU Hurd system is based.  It
+provides an Inter Process Communication (IPC) mechanism that the Hurd uses to
+define interfaces for implementing in a distributed multi-server fashion the
+services a traditional operating system kernel provides.  [[More
+detailed|microkernel/mach/gnumach]].
