Hello Tobias,

Sounds like an interesting project.  Is there a source code repository
that I could view?  Did you just start this work or is the project
nearing completion?

It's really cool to see that you are using the GNU system via Guix.
Since Guix cannot boot on its own yet (only in a virtualized
environment, the 1.0 release will be bootable), are you using another
GNU/Linux distribution to bootstrap Guix?
