Hi there, fellow Geeks!


I've been using Guix and GuixSD recently and I'd like to contribute!

I do know both Common Lisp and Clojure, so using Guile shouldn't be a pro=
blem.

I'd like to start with small tasks, like adding a few simple packages, th=
en move to bigger packages, then write some services, and so on.

However, I'm not familiar  at all with mailing list workflows (this is th=
e first mailing list I actually subscribed to), so I may need some guidan=
ce with that.

I thought about starting by creating a Guix package for git-remote-gcrypt=
 (https://spwhitton.name/tech/code/git-remote-gcrypt/). The package defin=
ition should be fairly simple, since the main program is just a shell scr=
ipt with no compilation dependencies.

I've read the section 8.5 "Submitting Patches" of the manual, so I think =
I'm good to go.

Is there any specific example of a similar simple package that I should b=
ase mine on? Is there anything else that I should be aware of?

I'm looking forward to being part of this community.

Thanks in advance,
Andr=C3=A9.
