## Summer session
### kernel-agnostic DEFRPC macro
Will involve the creation of an API that can generate new RPC calls as [MIG](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/mig.html) does but using Lisp macros.
This interface should be micro-kernel agnostic (see for instance [this](http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/hurd/ng/)).
Of course the inner layer will be for GNU Mach, but it should be easy to port it to future kernels.
### Libraries to bind
- some mach types and functions
- libports
- [specific hurd api in glibc](http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/hurd/glibc/hurd-specific_api/)
- fshelp
- iohelp
### RPC calls to bind
- io.defs
- fs.defs
- fsys.defs
### Pure lisp translator library
Once the bindings are working correctly, a libtrivfs translator like library should be written on top of that.
###
## To do
### Documentation
- Manually Bootstrapping a Translator

- Translate the Hurd website to Portuguese?
