Someone suggest that I propose one here (sorry it's taken so long). I think that a wiki would be a good complement to the manual, which while quite complete, lacks exhaustive examples (which would be impractical). I have found myself searching through the mailing list archives for solutions, and trawling through relevant threads on a number of occasions. If this information was organized in a dedicated wiki it would be much more accessible and would make it maintainable. As an example, Arch(Gnu)Linux's wiki is one of it's stronger points. I often end up there when searching for answers to application questions for other distros. I would be more than happy to help maintain a Guix(SD) wiki, if needed I would be happy to host it somewhere. What do you think? Cheers Craig
