Hi,
I just showed the simple "hello world" translator to a fellow student who does
FUSE stuff, and the reaction was 'wow, that's cool'.
More exactly what he does is creating a FUSE library which can interpret
transparently represent files as directories (with much pain).
After he did a presentation about that, I ssh'd to my private computer,
started qemu via X11-forwarding (pain and suffering - slow!) with my Hurd
installation and just did
$ cat hello
$ setrans hello /hurd/hello
$ cat hello
"Hello World"
$ settrans -g hello
$ cat hello
And he was quite impressed, since he could directly see the potential in that.
Even though I did it over X11-forwarding with a possible command rate of 2 per
minute or so.
So I think that's definitely a way to get people interested in the Hurd.
I thought I'd share the experience with you :)
If anyone is interested in his research papers on FUSE performance, justs ay
so. I have his OK to pass them on.
Best wishes,
Arne
