Thanks for expressing your interest! Feel free to join us on #hurd on libera.chat. It's a good place
to get advice.
Please note that I am a hurd enthusiast, not a developer. Which filesystems would you like to port
to the Hurd? That sounds like quite a job. I know someone worked on porting ext3 to the Hurd, and it
mostly works but still has some bugs that make switching to it not so good.
