Hopefully less! Definitely you could start helping the Guix project (and your own project) by packaging software that you are interested in and that we do not provide yet. Some guile/scheme knowledge is helpful, but not strictly required, see https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/guix-ghm-andreas-20130823.pdf Some experience in installing software by hand is needed, though. The irc channel is usually a good place to ask for advice. Andreas
