Here are some notes taken from an [IRC discussion](http://web.walfield.org/~hird/%23hurd-200209027) September 28th, 2002. The part of the log at which I am summarizing starts with
<marcus@18:26> wolfgang: I once made a list of things that are definitely to be done
before a release. want me to write it here? (It's only on paper so far)
This list is intended to apply to "just the CVS of the [Hurd itself](http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/hurd)." It is specifically not intended to apply to GNU/Hurd and definately not Debian GNU/Hurd.
* xkb driver for console (for international users)
* kbd leds in console (well, in general, Roland's new driver in oskit for that crap)
* fixing fakeroot (it's buggy)
* fixing tmpfs (it's buggy, Neal says it's Mach's fault)
* adding posix shared memory (requires the io_close call to be implemented)
* adding posix file locking (requires the io_close call to be implemented)
* testing
* find + various filesystems (are inode numbers for . and .. sane?)
* ext2fs with other block sizes than 4096
* --help and --version and --usage in all programs
* I have seen ^V in some --help output, might be argp bug
* Verify that all options are documented clearly, and that
no unimplemented options appear
* Is the short and long description in the help output correct?
* Is the return value of all programs correct (eg, does main() return a
sane value)
* Is the suid bit correctly set for all installed programs?
* Translators
* Does settrans -g work? -fg?
* Does fsysopts work? Does setting options with fsysopts work?
* Does stat() work on all translated nodes and give proper data?
* What about chown, chmod (some translators should pass this
through to the underlying node, esp in /dev!)
* Does statfs give correct data?
* Are all inode numbers and link counts correct?
* [one unreadable item on the paper]
* We also should have a "make check" test suite. We can add this once Jeff
finished his automake patches
* pick up the other things
* pthread, definitely. Now that we are so close
* new console is basically done
* needs integration of course
* X switching support
* there is certainly more to do ...

This is the wrong place for this but I'll put it here for now. Here's an [email about pthreads direction](http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/hurd-devel/2002q3/000449.html) from hurd-devel mail list.
