Re: Errors in the Hurd User's Guide

[Tom Hart]

Matthew and I both lost commit access to the guide about a year ago when 
those problems with Savannah hit. The wwwhurd repository, where the 
guide was stored, is now empty. The user's guide is now in the main Hurd 
repository, which I don't have any access to.

If Rob's interested in working on the User's Guide, he has my blessing 
if he'd like to become the new maintainer. (Yours too, Matthew?) Neither 
Matthew or I are currently doing any work on it.

As for copyright assignments, Gordon Matzigkeit signed his over to the 
FSF, but copyrights on contributions by Thomas Bushnell, Matthew Grant, 
and myself are currently held by their respective contributors.

Please keep CCing me if this discussion continues - I'm not subscribed 
to this list anymore.
