personally I find the term newbie to be derogatory. anyone with the smarts and guts to try their hand at hacking the hurd deserves my repect. that is why i refer to them as new developers.

It would make a good, friendly impression to newbies. Would it be a big problem to incorporate this in the list server subscription mechanism? Would it be helpful to set up a list of projects with some status info and names/adresses of supporters, to post few weeks. People willing to port/code/hack would have a handy overview, and people who look for the situation at the Hurd would see if/that something is going on here. You'r welcome to comment.
