Approximately half of the Debian archive -has been compiled successfully on the Hurd, however, many -programs fail to build for various reasons. 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. If you want to port any of these, file patches in the -[Alioth patch tracker](http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?atid=410472&group_id=30628&func=browse) - for review. It might be a good idea to record your intention -to port something 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. You can also just -install the Hurd and find what doesn't work for you and port -it and then file patches for that package in [above patch tracker](http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?atid=410472&group_id=30628&func=browse). -Another important task is making sure that patches go upstream as -well, especially for GNU projects. - -If you want to further development, a list of interesting -projects is available in the [Alioth task tracker](http://alioth.debian.org/pm/task.php?group_project_id=35&group_id=30628&func=browse). -Those projects are not necessarily Debian specific, but do -not touch the Hurd proper. - -# Hurd Proper - -If you are interested in developping the Hurd proper, there is -plenty of work to do. Before you can significantly contribute, -take some time to learn about the system, e.g., -[[microkernels_for_beginners|microkernel/for_beginners]]. Until you can do the basic exercises -listed there, you won't be able to significantly contribute to -the Hurd. - -See the [[ToDo]]. - -# GNU Mach - -GNU Mach is the underlying microkernel used by the Hurd.
