I think developers in the community already experienced with Guix internals and with Fibers will have to dive in.

If you can become familiar with the details, I= can co-mentor it=E2=80=94which means we=E2=80=99d need to find a co-mentor. :-) > It's tradition for potential GSoC participants to help resolve issues > before applying in preparation for the actual task, so I would appreciate > suggestions on problems I could help with. I would suggest =E2=80=9Cpoking around=E2=80=9D generally speaking, which m= eans first installing it. A good first contribution is often a package: one that you=E2=80=99re missing, that needs an update, etc. Then I=E2=80=99d encourage you to look more closely at the area you=E2=80= =99re interest in, for instance package transformations: there are a couple of open issues at that you might want to read, or perhaps you=E2=80=99ll have ideas of new transformations to add? Thanks for reaching out! Ludo=E2=80=99.
