Hi Guix,

A while ago I proposed this:

[=E2=80=A6]

I guess it makes sense to start at the beginning :)

What are good first topics that we could introduced in self-contained
videos?=C2=A0 The goal is to show a useful feature (one or two closely
related features per video) without making things confusing.

Ludo recommended to take a look at the slides that people have been
using to present Guix to various audiences:

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 https://git.savannah.= gnu.org/cgit/guix/maintenance.git/tree/talks

We don=E2=80=99t have to use them as they are, but they could provide some<= br> inspiration to find ways to explain the essence of functional package
management.=C2=A0 We don=E2=80=99t need to start with this abstract topic.= =C2=A0 Maybe
it=E2=80=99s better to show features first.


I tend to agree. Features first look l= ike a good idea. Also, we should
emphasize the benefits of doing = things the guix way :)
People might be more interested if they ca= n see how their current
situation is made better by a tool.

What are your thoughts on this?
