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. --047d7b41c8687c589b04da1b1002 Content-Type: text/html; charset=windows-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

We=92d just need to come up with a more prec= ise task list, I suppose. =A0:-)
I can=92t really offer to mentor work on Guile-SCSH or on a WM, unless
there=92s specific integration work with Guix.

WDYT?
