Conceptually, yes: I would love to collaborate. Realistically 
though, I don't know enough of guile and compiling in general to 
commit.

I would like to collaborate in general to Guix, but I found it 
very difficult. I actually tried defining some personal packages 
that I'm using in a project and I seem to have "cheated" by using 
the `copy-build-system` -- which seems to be suboptimal.

I love the idea of Guix, but I need to learn lots more of 
computing stuff before installing it as a full system. For now, 
I'll stick to just the package manager for my emacs config and 
start building from there.
