Hello Guix!
I’ve pushed to guix/maintenance.git a list of things that IMO we should
do or might want to do for 1.0, with the understanding that 1.0 should
happen in 2018 (or early 2019 at the latest!). :-)
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/maintenance.git/tree/doc/1.0.org
The list focuses on “big item” features and tasks, omitting routine bug
fixes and improvements. Some of these items don’t require a lot of work
or expertise though, so hopefully there’s enough on everyone’s plate.
Feel free to comment, volunteer, add items (but not too many!), remove
items, promote items, etc. Committers should feel free to edit the file
directly in maintenance.git, especially to mark things as done. ;-)
Copy of the file attached below.

PS: I’m starting the discussion but will go AFK soon after sending this
message. :-)
Hi Ludovic,
For near future version of GUIX, maybe 1.1, would it be possible to:
Upgrade to latest GCC as base compiler
Use gold linker as default
Based on experience, newer GCC and gold linker could reduce compilation time
and memory requirement dramatically. It would be beneficial to both build
farm which have heavy load and laptop users who have very limited memory.
Thanks.
