Yes, I agree!

I think we should:

  1. Move “Channels” to the top level, with real subsections as nodes.

  2. Clearly distinguish between using a channel and developing a
     channel.  The former should come first.

  3. Probably move ‘guix pull’ and ‘guix time-machine’ under that
     section.

  4. Add a tutorial-like section on how to work on your own channel.

Thoughts?
