If we could have a 3-5 minute "quick introduciton to Guix"
video/screencast that might be a lot more useful.  I think that kind of
video can do a lot for a project.

That said, *I* watched the 45 minute video being linked to from the
frontpage, so... while I think a shorter quick intro would be more
useful, the existing videos are already of some use!
