Hi,
to help new contributors get their first contribution into Guix I think
it would be good to do this:
1. create a new private mailing list or mailing alias guix-ment...@gnu.org
2. ask for experienced Guix contributors who are committed to helping
new contributors to subscribe to the list
3.

Yes, that sounds reasonable

Hi,
It is time for a release! We were almost there on January… time

Hi Guix,
The switch-symlinks function from (guix utils) is often required in
activation-service G-expressions. But, only (guix build utils) and not
(guix utils) is available to such G-expressions. See, for example, the
