-A large amount of Debian source packages can (by now) simple be built for
-Debian GNU/Hurd systems.
+Approximately half of the Debian archive has been compiled successfully on the
+Hurd, however, many programs fail to build for various reasons.
 
-Here are listed some of those (the important ones, as they're, e.g., blocking
-other packages from being built) that need someone to work on them.
+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.
+
+It might be a good idea to record your intention to port something either in
+the list below or 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.
+
+Aside from the Alioth task tracker, here is a list of some packages (the
+important ones, as they're, e.g., blocking other packages from being built)
+that need someone to work on them.
