here is a copy of the boilerplate as it looks at present. Ognyan, you were asking about Bulgarian translations. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Inside the source for the boilerplate is a explanation of what has to be done at gnu.org when implementing a new language for translations.

WE ARE HERE TO ATTRACT NEW HURD HACKERS! Keep the reference to debian to the one on the homepage and to the ports page. They have their own web pages to attract new porters. If you want to tout the debian port you should be writing the debian web pages. )get folks to use address@hidden as the primary mailing list for discussion on hacking on the hurd. Let folks know it is a help each other mailing list and discussion there should be limited to hacking on the hurd source code. -----Original Message----- From: address@hidden [mailto:address@hidden Behalf Of Jim Franklin Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2001 12:07 AM To: Jeff Bailey Cc: address@hidden; Philip Charles; Ognyan Kulev; Ian Duggan; Attila Nagy Subject: RE: Hurd web Jeff, Nice to hear from you. I've been working at the job 7 days a week since mid May. This is pretty close to what I projected to you at the beginning of April so I'm not really surprised it happened. Today and tomorrow I have pretty much free, and on Monday it's back to 7 days a week for probably another month. Oh the joys of being a start-up engineer. I'll bring you up to speed. I've got the cover page redone. Also the more about hurd general info page. An old copy (the left column is changed some and probably will continue to change till the end of the project as sections are added and deleted) and can be viewed at: http://members-http-1.rwc1.sfba.home.net/cykick/software/hurd/ I've given the copyright rights to 'the hurd development and information links' doc to the FSF and have renamed it 'The GNU Hurd WWW Sitemap'. Richard Stallman should be sending me the finalized documentation within a week or so. Work on the development section has been put on the side since I decided it will be a spin off and expansion of part of the 'The GNU Hurd WWW Sitemap'. I have just about completed reviewing the hurd archives and should start the final rewriting of the 'Sitemap' this evening. If you could handle the ports page that would be great! Once again it will be a hook into other web sites except for Zeno's l4 port page which will be hosed at hurd.gnu.org . the reason for using hooks into other web pages rather than hosting them at gnu.org is in the cover page listed above. Ian is working with paulv (chief GNU webmaster) to hook the source code for the hurd and GNUMach into the web site using lxr and to be updated weekly by script. Ognyan's paper will be the section 'About Microkernels'. I will be using Phil's section from the debian web pages which he wrote and hook it into the boilerplate for the CDs and minimal floppies section. The minimal floppies section may still have to be written. There is probably more but not off the top of my head. The general philosophy I have been using when building these pages. )We are trying to attract new developers to learn to hack on the hurd code. THIS IS THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THIS WEB SITE. )Do not if at all possible refer to Linux! We are not here to compare OS strategies. Any reference to linux is a negative connotation on the hurd. Trust me on this one. As far as we are concerned linux is old tech and not worth getting in a pissing match over ;) )we are attracting probably young developers (early twenties?) who are probably trying to make a name for themselves hacking kernel so keep the language modern. Also the folks who have been trying to contribute to the linux kernel and have been aced out by the 'good old boy' system in place for the linux kernel. (I got this info from some old archived hurd messages). I'll think of more to pass on later this afternoon.

Mostly, I'm hoping to work on our current glibc problems, but I would like to also do more on the web pages. I don't even have current notes for where it's hosted, etc. Tks, Jeff Bailey _______________________________________________ Web-hurd mailing list address@hidden http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/web-hurd _______________________________________________ Web-hurd mailing list address@hidden http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/web-hurd
