Well, I don't want to be rude but it just seems to me no one is
interested in working on the Hurd Reference Guide.  I can not remember
a single patch for it sent to the mailinglists as long as I am
subscribed (almost 3 years).

Added to that, if anyone has a patch, just send it in.  I am willing
to proof read every patch that makes sense.  And I am sure a lot of
people will do the same.
