I think there is a lot of interest, everybody seemed to be quite happy when QA worked, and patches with the green button were merged rather quickly. In my opinion the problem is that you are the only person who knows the system; right now, for instance, https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org/activity shows very low "plan sizes" and x86 machines that are far from busy. At the same time, QA at https://qa.guix.gnu.org/branch/master shows that there is a big lack of i686 package substitutes from master. So something is broken, and I am looking helplessly at the situation (some of the idle machines being in my living room...) without the faintest idea of what to do. Are these bugs in one of the components? Or just a problem of bad parameterisation of the movable parts? Or a lack of computing power in a central machine? Do you have a suggestion of how to onboard people, have them discover the system and being empowered to help? I had wanted to discuss this at the Guix Days, but finally did not feel well enough for engaging more with people and topics. Andreas
