There’s no progress bar, just a percentage.

I agree that this kind of feedback is important, but I wouldn’t worry
for now.

To be honest, I’m not confident about our ability to work together at
this point.  You mentioned you’ll start college, whereas I would expect
GSoC to be full time (perhaps you could do both, but I don’t want you to
work night & day).  Also it seems to be a completely new set of tools
(Scheme, Emacs, etc.) compared to your area of expertise.

Anyway, thanks for your interest in GNU and Guix, and I hope we’ll be
able to work together over time!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
