I do not think this is a big obstacle. I believe all other on-line communication media have bigger issues. I would not like this to change currently. Anyway, it is good if people know about Scheme and Guix because IMHO the concepts they stand for are right and most important, even though in (only) some aspects contributions are still desperately needed for Scheme/Guile to catch up with other frameworks. Diversity not only fits the mission of the GNU Project, GNU also needs people. But of course others need people too and non-GNU or non-Scheme projects are not always wrong. Regards, Florian
