The one disagreement I have is that some of us don't feel qualified to
write Hurd code, but might feel qualified to write an installer. =) I
prefer to help with web stuff and documentation, and porting. My
official Debianness should appear RSN.
I don't think it's been emphasized recently how many tasks us "average
programmers" can be doing to get this going. It might be nice to refocus
on that so that the magicians can stick to the magic only they can do.
