# Short Guide for Writing the QotH
## Individual News Items
The basic structure for a news item is as follows: *\[person with](link) did
\[task with}(link to testable code/patch) which brings us further towards
\[[goal]] by [short, easily understandable description of the contribution]*.
Each news item should show a step towards the mission of the Hurd. From
[[community/weblogs/antrik/hurd-mission-statement]] you can
glean the following basic goals:
* Better support for day-to-day desktop use (more packages, more stable, more
drivers, easier to setup, ...).
* More user freedom and possibilities for programs/translators.
* Technical advancement.
* More unique or at least interesting features.
* Attract more developers and/or users.
The reason for this structure is to resolve the problem that many people think
that the Hurd won't ever be finished by concentrating on the improvements and
the steps towards completing our mission -- but only once they have actually
been done (to avoid showing anything which might become vaporware).
