**Welcome to the home** of the Hurd TWiki. :cool: It is a web-based collaboration effort for anything related to the GNU operating system and its core, the Hurd. It was announced on [May 12, 2002](http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-hurd/2002-May/008342.html) and is growing quickly.

_Please take note as we will soon be moving data around to accomodate new TWiki webs. We hope this will help clarify the different aspects of the GNU/Hurd efforts for new users._

In our Wiki everyone is equal and shares equal rights, liberties and responsibilities. Feel free to add content, but please respect the guidelines set forth in the %TWIKIWEB%.GoodStyle rules. _For content on the Hurd Wiki we would prefer that you create your own [[Main/TWikiUsers]] on the %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiRegistration page_.
