It could be quite useful I believe. 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]. [1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-12/msg00326.html 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is really well-explained [3], Julien wrote an article in French for JRES 2019 [4] and the associated video [5], an outdated article in French by Ludo has the merit of existing [6].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!
