for sure. on the guix list a lot of people expressed their frustrations (many which I share to be sure, which is why I'm drawn to work on this), and some suggested solutions of "we should follow x format". while I understand that sentiment, I as a recovering academic who has helped friends with countless dissertations I also realize that too hasty judgements in an editing process can lead to frustrations which ultimately stall progress. nonetheless, I'm pretty confident that most of my proposal will resonate with the newcomers and old timers alike, and folks will agree to let me move forward without getting bogged down in bikeshedding. it's been quite a trip learning guile! and I'm happy I've put the effort into it and hope I can contribute in such a way that will make it a smoother process for future newcomers :) -- “In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni”
