Yes, I was thinking that maybe a trade-off between learning new things
and contributing with things that you need right now, that was why I
was thinking of R packages. Maybe I could package one or two more, to
practice doing so by myself this time, and then switch to another
task, WDYT?
BTW, I was trying to run guix pull, the one installed on top of my
foreing distro - not the one in the guix environment - and I am
getting this error, don't know why, I have already run guix pull
before:
:~/guix$ guix pull
Migrating profile generations to '/var/guix/profiles/per-user/laura'...
guix pull: error: symlink: File exists:
"/var/guix/profiles/per-user/laura/current-guix-1-link"

By the manual you, mean,
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/index.html#Top,
or am I missing something?
If that's the manual, please, let me know further steps to edit it,
since I don't have much idea of how to do so.
It also mentions that you need help for translations, my mother tongue
is spanish, and I am good at translating documentation, at least in
neutral latin american spanish, but I don't know if that is for
another project - I followed the link: Translation Project.
Regards!
