Maybe we should have a place to collect ideas?

Anyway, here would be my top items for GSoC:

 - An installer wizard (written in Guile of course!)
 - g-expressions which generate packages of the Guix package manager for
   .deb and .rpm based distros, and work to get those upstream in Debian
   and Fedora
 - Perhaps some kind of non-emacs, non-cli package (and system
   management?) interface.  Maybe GTK based?
