Hi Luis,

I’m big fan of what you propose, both graphically in terms of how we
present things!

I love the “cubes” that represent the different levels of Guix
(reminiscent of the hexagons Ricardo had in some of his presentations);
we could add a “systems” (plural) cube that I didn’t see here, but
that’s a detail.  I love that the mockups insist on “User Control” and
“User Autonomy” too.

Like Ricardo, I’m less enthusiastic about the term “package manager”,
but we should be able to work around it.

We should also make sure IMO that Guix System is not perceived as a
completely independent/separate beast, and instead insist on that notion
of a continuum.

Luis Felipe <luis.felipe.la@protonmail.com> skribis:

Makes sense to me.  This something those of us less into design and more
into coding can help with.

Thank you!!

Ludo’.
