Okay, all in good time. Like written in IRC, I think at least a minimal
introduction to signing commits, creating your key etc should be part of
the Manual one day to keep it self contained. Or in one of the books,
not necessarily a top priority. But we know the problem and most of us
have been there I guess.

Done, with gnunet-guile2.

No, this has been on my very long term goal list. I'll try to make a
post this month I could link you to. In short, take your time. Better it
works instead of barely works and starts gathering dust.

Yep, it would make guix publish/pull/download/etc possible.

[unnecessary, optional part:]
However it doesn't fix the problems with GNUnet FS that will
need to be tested and addressed before we could have an reliable
system like that. But I'll be the first to jump on that ship.
I find it's easier to discuss certain ideas face to face, so
once you get there with the bindings, if it works out a meeting
would make it easier. Electronic communication would work too though.
I have some written notes on paper that I need to commit, and old
discussions about how this would work out.

There's a prototype for the old gnunet-guile that I dumped into
my guix repo that was written by the original author. worked as
a PoC.
