Yes. It just needs to be done :)

One thing that would have to be addressed, though, is that the package list view of hpcguix-web seems to work only for JavaScript-enabled browsers. So if you are browsing with, say, Lynx, you don't have a way to discover packages.

But I wonder if it is possible now to make the packages part use any of the Postgres databases that already exist and allow traditional search without JavaScript...
