It depends a lot from what we want to put under the = spotlight. The idea is more to have a single =E2=80=9Cbrand=E2=80=9D: Guix. Then =E2= =80=9CGuix System=E2=80=9D would be a component of Guix, so to speak, similar to GNOME and its applications. >> This has implications mostly on the web site and on the manual.

Sounds reasonable. Would you like to give it a go? I suppose the changes to the web site can be made incrementally, it=E2=80=99s not an all-or-nothing change. If y= ou=E2=80=99d like to fiddle with this and you need guidance with the web site machinery, don=E2=80=99t hesitate to ask on IRC or the ML! Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
