Unfortunately, this page is very outdated. For the latest status you need to check the [[MailLists]] or [[HurdIRC]]. I know that from hanging out on IRC today (Feb 29, 2004) Marcus was uploading a new [[Mach/WebHome]] binary package to update the old one in the debian archive. Work still continues on the new [[HurdConsole]]. Progress overall is slow due to the technical expertise required for many tasks and the lack of resources. -- [[Main/GrantBow]] - 01 Mar 2004 Two canonical status lists are available from the CVS archive: * [TODO file](http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/~checkout~/hurd/hurd/TODO?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain) - from Hurd repository * [Task file](http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/~checkout~/hurd/hurd/tasks?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain) - from Hurd respository
