I was wondering what other > ways are there for me to help out? One way to contribute is by using Guix as a package manager on top of an existing GNU/Linux distribution and to report bugs. Another way is to try to package up missing free software that you would like to be available through Guix. Writing package specifications is not very difficult and requires hardly any programming experience at all. Be sure to visit the IRC channel #guix on freenode to get help in getting started. -- rekado
