Excellent. You can write the article anytime you wish, as you see fit. The blog posts are located at: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/guix-artwork.git/tree/website/posts and you can write it as Markdown (.md file). When you write it you can email it to interested readers (count me in) if you=E2=80=99d rather avoid spoiling it by posting it here. :-) Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
