Hi, I hope you don't mind if I add to this some lines.

I say 'stretch' because this is a topic which requires some preparing contributions and then lots of testing and diving deeper into the core of Guix :) So if all goes well, I know around december if I qualified with my idea for funding and can almost worry-free hack on this for another 6 months. It's like Google Summer of Code, only a bit longer. I'll very optimistic and say that my internal documented goal for basic gnunet-filesystem integration for guix is summer / autumn 2017. >> 5) How do I install Guix for a nonroot account in another distro? > > First you install it as root, as described in the installation > instructions at <https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/download/>. > Then all the users on that system, root or not, can use it. > >> I'm also curious what the current plans are for Guix/GuixSD are. > > The ‘ROADMAP’ file lists remaining features or issues that need to be > addressed before 1.0.
