Depends how we look at the "Guix blog": shall we guarantee the content
of the articles to remain the same (beside typos) or shall we update
them as new ideas and other changes pop up?

The latter option has higher maintenance costs, plus we would need a way
to tell the reader when the article was first created, last edited, and
a link to the history of changes.

For the cookbook we've got all that with Git.

You offering me to give a talk on this?  Why not, we can talk about it :)

I would be very interested if someone could explain how they hack with
Geiser: I'm still frustrated with it on a daily basis :p I'm in
particular interested in debugging.  Regarding Guix-specific debugging,
I wonder how Guix developers debug staged code (i.e. when errors happen
for code executed by the daemon).

Just watched the video: https://rash-lang.org/
It's amazing!
Now all we need is an Emacs (or https://github.com/soegaard/remacs?) 
integration...
