+    [failed GNU/Hurd project]
+    < antrik> gnu_srs1: I wouldn't say he was on track. just one of the many
+      many people who insist on picking a hard task; realizing that indeed it's
+      hard; and going into hiding
+    < antrik> we see that happen every couple of months
+    < cluck> maybe we need a "hurd 101" 
+    < cluck> getting a teacher and setting up a regularly held "class" for hurd
+      noobs
+    < Tekk_> cluck: what would that include?
+    < cluck> explaining core concepts, giving out "homework" (small tasks), etc
+    < cluck> that way "the big guys" could focus on the hard stuff and have an
+      army of code monkeys at their disposal to write speced stuff
+    < cluck> (then again this idea would heavily depend on available "teachers"
+      and "students", which, going by gsoc numbers, may not be all that
+      helpful)
+    < Tekk_> cluck: gsoc isn't an accurate indicator
+    < Tekk_> cluck: I'm not allowed to participate in gsoc but I'd join :P
+    < antrik> cluck: we don't need code monkeys... we need hackers
+    < Tekk_`> antrik: code monkeys involve into hackers
+    < Tekk_`> under the right conditions
+    < cluck> antrik: jokes aside some sort of triage system/training ground for
+      newcomers could be helpful
