Yagnesh Raghava Yakkala wrote a few days ago saying they=E2=80=99d be interested to= o. Are you applying for other projects as well for this year? Please familiarize yourself with the tools, and report any issues or questions you may have. It would be great also to start discussing more precisely what the UI should look like, and sketch a road map. Also make sure to come on #guix to discuss! Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
