That is impressive. It looks like we can also learn from you.

This is not a problem. I believe it can be picked up easily. This won't be
the biggest burden in the project.

To get started you should install guix. For this project it might make
sense to install guix system also. You should also set up a guix
development environment, by checking out the source code, and building it.

The usual first time contribution we recommend is to package an R package
from cran that has all its dependencies in guix using the importer.

You can also check out http://issues.guix.gnu.org/easy and work on some
easy bugs.
