Some items from my to-do list:

  - Good micro-architecture story with function multi-versioning along
    the lines of
    <https://gitlab.inria.fr/guix-hpc/function-multi-versioning> (help
    welcome especially on finding good applications to benchmark!).

  - Relocatable pack execution on clusters that lack user namespaces,
    thus with GUIX EXECUTION_ENGINE=fakechroot (I noticed glitches in
    the past due to glibc NSS and things like that.)

  - “Converting” papers to use a Guix workflow similar to what I did in
    <https://zenodo.org/record/3886739>, with the goal of extracting
    common helpers to make it more approachable.

Works for me.

Thanks for starting this initiative!
