I have been wanting to work on implementing a general purpose pretty-printing/formatting module for Guix that services (and Guix system, style, Home, etc.) could use to serialize their given configuration languages. It would be better than manually formatting raw strings as is done now by most services. Ludo' first broached the topic in a patch review[1]. The project feels to me like it would be much more attainable with advice from a seasoned Schemer/Guixer. So a mentor-mentee program could be a good fit. Again, I'm unsure exactly how this fits into the larger goals of the project. I suspect that services-related stuff like this may be lower on the hierarchy of priorities. [ Regardless, even if it turns out not to be a good fit for GSoC, I'd be delighted to work on this with a bit of help and advice as time allows. ] Best, Kierin [1] https://issues.guix.gnu.org/64620#15
