I think we'll manage that together, at least partly - it's one of the things a 
brainstorm can accomplish.

Definitely! 

Maybe you could also add it to the Blogs in the Hurd wiki, or a link to your 
Hurd related entries, so people can find them via the Hurd wiki? 
http://bddebian.com/~wiki/community/weblogs

Netrik sounds very nice, too, and works quite well (I just installed and 
tested it in my qemu Hurd and on my Gentoo machine). It can do most umlauts in 
my Gentoo machine (äöü), but still seems to stumble on the "scharf s" (ß). 

Besides: Do you know why our wiki is so slow at the moment? I'm glad that I 
have a local clone :)

It could keep people from using them as a base for thinking further. 

So better keep that for next week :)
