On my initial reading, I think it's great, thank you! Unfortunately, I don't have any ideas for improvements right now, but I have been asked to talk about Guix at the library where I work in March, and perhaps that will bubble up other questions that people have. This has helped me tremendously in thinking about how to frame Guix for non-hackers. Thank you. Jack
