There is this useful wiki managed by Raymond Nicholson:
https://gitlab.com/rain1/guix-wiki/wikis/home
Although, I'd like to echo Ludovic's question, and also say that the
goal of the manual is to be completely sufficient for first-timers and
experienced users alike.
I find the phenomenon of 3rd party wikis giving instructions on how to
use some piece of software to be a dismaying "antipattern". And, the
situation only gets worse as people send documentation to the 3rd party
wiki instead of to the software project in questoin.
So, please tell us of any specific shortcomings! It seems that you would
prefer "System Installation" to begin with an outline?
