A group of one being led by Neal H. Walfield is working on porting the Hurd to the pistachio version of the L4 microkernel. This second generation microkernel provides a significantly different API than the one offered by the Mach microkernel, a first generation microkernel. One of the primary goals of the project, outside of porting the Hurd to L4, is to reevaluate the current Hurd abstractions and consider how they can be modified to be more general.

I have no web page describing my efforts. There is a mailing list[1].

There are several important pages that are of interest for the L4 &amp; hurd communities.

* Main L4 home page - <http://www.l4ka.org/>
* Hurd on L4 - <http://www.freesoftware.fsf.org/l4hurd/>
* Hurd on L4 - <http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/l4hurd/>
