Hey Mert Goer!

That sounds awesome! I can actually help you a little bit! I used to
make some edits to the Guix wiki!

I have a GNU/Hurd cheatsheet online here:

https://notabug.org/jbranso/cheatsheets/src/master/hurd.org#wiki

Specifically my "wiki" heading is about things that anyone can edit the
wiki!

Lots of information is available in the GNU/Hurd wiki, but it is a bit
outdated. We would love your help! Also Samuel is super fun to work
with! You'll feel right at home!

Here's a video where I show you how to make a wiki edit:

If you are more interested in contributing to the offical GNU/Hurd
manuals, you might check out my video where I show you how to edit the
GNU Guix cookbook:

If you want any other help and encouragement, I'm only one email away!

I have a limited network connection, so i'll start with texts, could you please send me a part of "Hurd", which i can fix the text about it, make it up to date, etc...

Thanks, mertgor(hwpplayer1)

Of course! You'll love this project! It'll be super fun and totally
cool!

Take a look at this page:

https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/translator/xmlfs.html

The Hurd has an xml translator! How cool is that? You can mount an xml
file, and use standard coreutils to access the file?

image running:

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
$ settrans -a /hurd/xmlfs /path/to/xml/file.xml
$ cd file.xml
$ ls
head
body
$ cd body
$ ls
div
h1
p
footer
#+END_SRC

Do you see the problem? There is no guide on that webpage about how to
do it!

https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/translator/xmlfs.html

You have to know about this page to learn how to use it:

http://www.nongnu.org/hurdextras/#xmlfs

Specifically this file:

http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/hurdextras/xmlfs/README

You could write up a web guide to put on the Hurd website here:

https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/translator/xmlfs.html

You can change that xmlfs.html file to say:

The xmlfs translator does this and that, and it's terribly cool and you
should try it right now! Do these command to play with it:

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
your commands here
#+END_SRC

If you do this, and Samuel commits the change, then I will consider
uploading a silly video of me dancing and congratulating you!
