There=E2=80=99s no progress bar, just a percentage.

To be honest, I=E2=80=99m not confident about our ability to work together = at this point. You mentioned you=E2=80=99ll start college, whereas I would ex= pect GSoC to be full time (perhaps you could do both, but I don=E2=80=99t want y= ou 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=E2=80=99ll = be able to work together over time! Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
