Thank you, I am currently cloning your git repo and reading your TODOs, it's a 
big work you've already done, thank you!
I may ask you for some details when I finish looking through all your 
documentation.
Remember that I'm a beginner on Guix, and haven't much free time to devote 
myself to it, so it's possible the operation may take some time.

I'll let you know when it's done, hopefully in a little while!

Happy hacking,
