Sorry, I have probably missed the info: what is the aim of awesome-guix?

Another possible problematic word *if* you intend this as a Guix community resource: <https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.en.html#Ecosystem>. Of course, it's entirely up to you otherwise. But mainly: thank you very much for compiling this list, Léo! We've been missing something like it, relying on tribal knowledge like ‘cbaines is working on a cool thing’. Kind regards, T G-R Sent from a Web browser. Excuse or enjoy my brevity.

Commonly awesome lists are used to share links to all things related to some topic or some software. This lists's purpose is for anyone to be able to easily get up to speed with what exists instead of having to know each and every one to find out by word of mouth. It also helps projects get more exposure that way. > > Cheers, > simon [-- Attachment #2: This is a digitally signed message part --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 833 bytes --]

Oh okay, well it's just the title of the email, I didnt know about that "Ecosystem" could misqualify communities. Do we use movement instead?

Thanks for the explanations. I did not know.

Also to add to what Léo mentioned, "awesome" lists are a quick way to get up to speed to some things; and IMHO are a sort of "gateway drug" to some things. As an example, "awesome-guile" (https://notabug.org/ZelphirKaltstahl/awesome-guile/src/master/list.md) has served me well to get resources that I'd otherwise never find on my own. It'd be nice to aggregate something similar for GUIX. PS: You find interesting things when you search for awesome-<some-tool/stack>. Try it! -- Bonface M. K.

Maybe what Léo is proposing fits better the contribution workflow. Now, I am thinking about that, give a look at: <https://github.com/pjotrp/guix-notes> Well, it is worth to add them and if someone volunteers, they need some refresh. :-) BTW, thanks for compiling curated materials. Cheers, simon
Hi, Léo Le Bouter <lle-bout@zaclys.net> skribis: > I created an awesome-guix list at > https://git.sr.ht/~lle-bout/awesome-guix#awesome-guix Nice! In the channels section, you could add Guix-Science, Guix-Past, Guix-HPC, and perhaps a few others from <https://hpc.guix.info/about/>. :-) Thanks, Ludo’.

I wonder why not just calling it "Link list" then? Thsi would be much
easier to understand for non-nerds.

The best known of these "awesome awesomes" is https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome which has over 152,000 stars and 19,900 forks on GitHub and almost a thousand commits. For my fellow recursion enjoyers, there's also an "awesome awesome awesome" list which lists these lists of lists: https://github.com/t3chnoboy/awesome-awesome-awesome So, while saying "link list" is fine and understandable, there are many people who specifically create and seek out "awesome lists" and find it easier to share and discover such lists under the less generic name.
