We discussed website changes extensively in the past.  Here=E2=80=99s a thr=
ead:

    https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-01/msg00232.html

It also includes the suggestion to deemphasize the distro =E2=80=9CGuix Sys=
tem=E2=80=9D
and only keep text on the home page that applies to Guix itself.

In my last FOSDEM talk on the GWL I showed how Guix operates on
ever-growing =E2=80=9Cscenes=E2=80=9D: packages, environments composed of m=
ultiple
packages, containers composed of environments, and even full-blown
systems.

Maybe there=E2=80=99s something in the old discussions that would still be
useful today for concrete change proposals.
