DifficultyTask
0 Check if all programs handle options (at least --help, --version and --usage; don't forget about the shell scripts)
1 Check if all translators handle fsysopts
1 Check if all translators respond to "settrans -g"
1 More tests of this kind
2 Fix those of the above who don't work as intended
2 Document (in doc/hurd.texi) all undocumented programs (translators as well as programs in utils/ and sutils/ and some others)
1 Find a POSIX test suite, run it on GNU/Hurd, report the results
1 Find more useful test suites to run
3 Update INSTALL-cross
2 Check if all the store classes in libstore work (we have many of them, look into the Makefile)
4 Fix those who don't work
2 Document all still undocumented store classes
2 The console is pretty new code, it told me it wants to get tested
