Or maybe add it to the Packages menu item? For example:

Packages (/LANG/packages/)
  Channels (/LANG/packages/channels/ or /LANG/channels/)

Also, the Packages page could also mention that that list of packages comes 
from the Guix channel, but more packages are available from other channels (and 
link to the new list of channels).

I don't know about the "Community" part because I think the Guix community [is 
| will be] split into "Libre Only Community" and "Open Source with Proprietary 
Comunity", so maybe each community should build their own websites that better 
reflect their own goals? I don't know...
