Ludo, I'm not sure how to do this part. Do I just import (www) and (www 
packages) in a REPL, and call `export-web-page` for each page (packages 
index and issues)? You don't have to modify `www.scm` at all (uncomment 
elements in the %web-pages list, for example)?

Also, trying just that, when I try importing (www packages), (guix ui) 
is not found in my system:

     scheme@(guile-user)> (use-modules (www packages))
     ;;; compiling 
/home/anonimo/Documentos/guix-artwork/website/www/packages.scm
     ;;; WARNING: compilation of 
/home/anonimo/Documentos/guix-artwork/website/www/packages.scm failed:
     ;;; ERROR: no code for module (guix ui)
     While compiling expression:
     ERROR: no code for module (guix ui)

I'm using Guile 2.0.13 installed from Guix binary on Debian 8, and guix 
is version 20161113.19. Where are Guix modules?

Thanks,
