 That's the question I had, that Nikita brought to the forefront. What
would be the precise nature of this integration? I mean, you did list
wm-packaging as a summer project, and I don't much know what would be
required to make it happen, nor what would make it the length of a summer!
 I suppose being bootable is also secondary. I'm a fairly happy arch user,
but if I could drop a Guix userland distro on top of it, I could easily see
myself doing that full time.

I would be totally willing to integrate the guile-scsh and nwm, especially
since neither project is yet fully realized, but I just don't know what
exactly that would entail. Part of the appeal of a package manager is the
modularity of the packages you install :P

So I guess, the starting place for this precise task list would be: getting
the Guix distribution to the point where it can be dropped onto a normal
Linux distro and used as a normal distribution. I'd like to integrate scsh
and nwm, if that's a real place to go.
