Hello!

I created an awesome-guix list at 
https://git.sr.ht/~lle-bout/awesome-guix#awesome-guix

Please contribute new items by email with patches to 
~lle-bout/awesome-guix-devel@lists.sr.ht! No promotion of proprietary
software please :-)

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

Same here!  This looks like an awesome list but the name doesn't do it 
justice.

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

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.

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?
Fine by me!

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!

Yeah, I thought it was the idea behind the Cookbook.  :-)
Well, the bottleneck with this (whatever the name ;-)) is recruiting
people who puts some love in.  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

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 am willing to share maintainership of this list to make it more
durable.

If you are interested, you will need an account on https://sr.ht/ then
I can add you push rights.

Thank you!

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

Awesome lists are "a thing." A number of people maintain "awesome
awesome" lists, which list other pages with "awesome lists." 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.
