-[[!meta title="""How to prepare and publish a "Quarter of the Hurd" for the last
-quarter"""]]
-
-We prepare a *Quarter of the Hurd* in the file [[qoth_next]]. The idea is
-to record to-be-published changes in that file at they time they arise, and
-then publish them en bloc at the end of the quarter. There are instructions for
-[[writing_the_qoth]].
-
- * At the end of the quarter: prepare for publishing the QotH, then send the raw
- Markdown text to the mailing list, asking for feedback.
-
- * ..., and publish.
-
- $ git mv contributing/web_pages/news/qoth_next.mdwn news/YYYY-MM.mdwn
-
- Edit the news entry's *meta date* value to the timestamp when the news
- entry is published. We have to set that one manually, as otherwise the
- timestamp of the news entry file's creation will be taken, which is (much)
- earlier, and not what we want. We do not set the *meta updated* value, as
- it's correct to update that one upon further modifications of the news
- entries.
-
- $ git cp contributing/web_pages/news/skeleton.mdwn contributing/web_pages/news/qoth_next.mdwn
- $ git commit -m 'QotH YYYY-MM.'
- $ git push origin master

-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]].

-# Short Guide for Writing the QotH
-
-
-## Individual News Items
-
-The basic structure for a news item is as follows: *\[person with](link) did
-\[task with}(link to testable code/patch) which brings us further towards
-\[[goal]] by [short, easily understandable description of the contribution]*.
-
-Each news item should show a step towards the mission of the Hurd. From
-[[community/weblogs/antrik/hurd-mission-statement]] you can
-glean the following basic goals:
-
- * Better support for day-to-day desktop use (more packages, more stable, more
- drivers, easier to setup, ...).
- * More user freedom and possibilities for programs/translators.
- * Technical advancement.
- * More unique or at least interesting features.
- * Attract more developers and/or users.
-
-The reason for this structure is to resolve the problem that many people think
-that the Hurd won't ever be finished by concentrating on the improvements and
-the steps towards completing our mission -- but only once they have actually
-been done (to avoid showing anything which might become vaporware).
-
