+
+    <braunr> i expect smp to be our next gsoc project
+

+## IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-01-02
+
+    <braunr> i'd like to mentor someone for adding smp to gnumach

+
+    <braunr> but i'm afraid we'll have to fight obscur smp-safety issues
+    <braunr> for one, drivers are much probably not smp safe and would require
+      a big kernel lock
+    <braunr> userspace (such as signal delivery in libc) might be affected too
+    <braunr> smp isn't that easy

+This task actually looks too big for a GSoC project.
