Hello Guix!

People rightfully suggested having some sort of a roadmap for what’s
next.  Many of us certainly have specific ideas in mind, but having that
written down can certainly clarify what this project is about to
newcomers, and it can help us insiders build a common understanding of
what it is we want to do.

To start the discussion, here’s a list of high-level to-do items, some
of them just copied from our ‘1.0.org’ document :-) and others that stem
from discussions we’ve had.  I’m happy to expound on some of these
points if anything is unclear.

What do *you* want Guix to address in the future?

Ludo’.

My wishlist (a bit wordier and less organized than what most have
responded):

- At least two have already said this, improve package searching. I
  recommend every package have an optional list of keywords or
  keyphrases to make searching a lot more reliable and possibly faster.

- Refactor the package modules. A lot of packages stand alone in their
  own module when they could fit well into an already established
  module without making it much larger.

- Document all functions or syntax exported in any guix modules (like
  substitute*) either in the guix manual or in a separate guix reference
  manual.

- Debugging/diagnostic mechanism for hanging build processes. (I want
  to know why guile-emacs takes forever to build on my machine).

- `guix import git` to more easily define packages from a git
  repository.

- A way to generate a manifest from the command line.

- A way to generate a service definition from the command line.

- A way to select services and system-wide packages in the graphical
  installer (like how aptitude lets you browse and select packages when
  installing debian)

- A way to install a service (built for mcron or shepherd) specifically
  for a user.

- #:glib-or-gtk option for (potentially) all build systems (like what
  meson-build-system currently provides). If not for all build systems,
  at least for python-build-system.

I dream to reach a (digital) place, where a Guix Logo brights in the 
center of the door (intro web page), and scattered all around it, 
signposts (Links) of all imaginable languages, broadcast "Welcome" 
(Bienvenido, Nnabata, أهلا بك, 歡迎, добро пожаловать, ...).


Singular is, many digital adventurers are exploring places which uses 
their own language [1].
This wish is interestingly expressed by the Localization Lab [2],
which introduces technological terms within unrepresented languages, for 
Projects which, i feel, follows the GNU spirit [3].

PS: I was wondering, which is the actual feeling to traverse the Gnunet 
and Fediverse cosmos ?

Have a nice journey, Matias :)
