I think we should focus on more practical howtos aimed at people new to 
guix. So
our priority would be “installing guix on a foreign distro”, “installing 
guixsd”
and “using guix: installing, upgrading and removing packages” (including 
guix pull).
Maybe "guix gc" should get a video too.

I can also think of other video titles like “environments vs profiles” 
(showing the
difference between the two with practical examples) which would be aimed 
at
developpers (not guix developpers, developpers of other things) (it 
could be
“developping on guixsd”). “Getting back to work” when something is 
wrong, show how
to roll-back a package profile, a system profile or even guix itself.

Thoughts?
