+
+<!-- See also open_issues/gccgo.  -->
+
+The goal of this project is to make the [Google Go programming
+language](http://golang.org/) available on GNU/Hurd in its [[GCC]] *gccgo*
+implementation.
+
+Presumably less work will be needed on the language's frontend itself, but
+rather on the supporting libraries.
+
+Apart from a solid knowledge of the [[POSIX]] API, working knowledge of the
+Google Go programming language is a must.  Some Hurd knowledge will have to be
+acquired while working on the project.
+
+Possible mentors: Ian Lance Taylor: gccgo bits, [[Thomas Schwinge
+(tschwinge)|tschwinge]]: Hurd bits.
+
+Exercise: Fix one of the problems preventing *gccgo* from working on the Hurd.
