Welcome!  One of the things I enjoy most about the Guix community is how
lively it is.  I'd recommend the #guix IRC channel on the libera.chat
server if you haven't already, where more than 400 people regularly
discuss and try to help each others.

I wish you the best of luck in your project, and most importantly, to
have fun doing it!
