This project will require gaining a very good understanding of the various Hurd interfaces. Skills in designing nice programming interfaces are a must. - -* A release creation framework - -One of the points which keep people from using the Hurd is that it never looks -like it is in a working state. To get attention from people (and the press, -etc.) the Hurd needs releases, and doing a release should be as simple as -submitting a changelog and release notes and tagging the code, ideally done with -only one simple command. - -A framework for creating Hurd releases could give the Hurd far more visibility -and thus make it more interesting to developers. - -It should include automatic publishing of the press release to selected weblogs -and newssites, as well as preparing and uploading the release to visible servers -and creating images of the Hurd to be used in free virtualization software and -livecds (an example livecd: http://people.debian.org/~neal/hurd-live-cd/ ), so -people can test the features at once. - -Also it should update a status page with the current release (with date), state -and features of the Hurd. - -It could automatically update packages for different distributions, too. - -The press releases should also by default include pointers to all necessary -information to dive into using the Hurd, as well as to begin coding at once. - -And naturally the framework should be easily adaptable to changes inside the Hurd -project and, if possible, to other projects as well. |
