Hi Ludo’ et al,

Thanks for your hard work on the 1.1.0 release!

Your proposed direction sounds great to me. To those, I would like to add:

* Improvements in the Go and Rust build systems. Are the any commonalities 
that we can factor our for providing the source of dependencies?

* Continued development of guix deploy. Figuring out how to deploy secrets 
to remote machines would be great.

* Accessibility for the installer. I don't know where we stand currently, 
but it would be great to know and make improvements.

* Sandboxing of applications. What would a Guix System with SELinux 
enforcement look like?

* GDM and GNOME-Shell Wayland sessions.

* Continued improvements to bootstrapping and GNU Hurd efforts.

I certainly don't have the energy to work on all of these at once. Goals 
for my involvement in Guix are to help review more patches, and contribute 
to areas of Guix outside of package definition.

Best,
Jack
