Very much worth a small slice of banana bread in celebration. Yet there is still a lot to do. How many of these packages work as intended? Some of them have an error when guix builds them, some of them immediately crash, and some of them take so long to build that it is impractical to try to install them with guix. If you show me a list of packages that don't build correctly or immediately crash on startup, I will work on fixing them. I have no doubt some volunteers are willing to do the same. If I had access to a good server I would be willing to work on packages that take more than a day to build like guile-emacs.
