AFAIK, nothing dedicated.

Browse the folders doc/ and talks/ in
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/maintenance.git/tree/

Note that broken symbolic links are fixed in a patched sent here [1].

Well, it depends on what do you mean by "general public"?


To my knowledge -- and IMHO -- the talk by Chris at seagl-2018 is
didactic [2], the video by Carl Dong about Trusting Trust is really
well-explained [3], Julien wrote an article in French for JRES 2019
[4] and the associated video [5], an outdated article in French by
Ludo has the merit of existing [6].

Last but not least, all the videos [7] are a really good introduction
for(motivated) general public.

And I have tried to define concrete use-cases (based on "scientific"
workflows) in [1]; I would like to extend this as a Cookbook entry.
Whatever!

Not sure that helps! :-(

Cheers,

Stay tuned! :-)
Should Konrad release a new version of the well-known MOOC [8]? ;-)
