madrazr wanted a wiki to keep track of progress. antrik suggested: http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/community/gsoc/ and that everyone use that to keep track of their progress. bddebian was poked about git accounts on flubber.bddebian.com
antrik/youpi talked about the mailing lists. Debian GNU/Hurd (installer, etc): http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd bug-hurd, etc
Don't be afraid to post to the lists. There's no need to send the post for review first. Generally people on the list are the same as people on IRC
various docs links were posted: http://angg.twu.net/the_hurd_links.html http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/docs.html
youpi posted a survey of some of the reasons why packages don't work on Hurd: http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2007/07/msg00000.html and http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2007/07/msg00001.html
andrei posted http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~trent/gnu/hurd/hurd-talk.tar.gz an archive of hurd-folks
antrik is happy with communication in general
wiki pages for each of the projects should be created sometime this week
Welcome to... 
... the GNU
Hurd!
