The information is there in the main docs (and source code), but what we lack is a short descriptive list what steps one has to go through. Ludo, I am happy to participate in this effort. I would like to propose using org-mode on for the initial versions. Simply because I am productive that way. Would that be OK? And, despite my own reservations on github's growing role, I think at this stage github has the best functionality. Also github invites contributions because many people are signed up. For the short term, I suggest we use github for the tutorials. Github has the right audience for readers too. Once it stabalizes it could go into the main Guix tree. Pj. PS I don't like wiki's. Those are no option.
