Yes, I agree to this outline. One possibility if it turns out to be
too much for a single video, is to spilt it up.

Like:
1. building guix from source:
> * git clone ...
> * go into guix directory
> * Enter the environment:
>   guix environment guix
>   --> Explain what happens here and what's so cool about it.
> * ./bootstrap
> * ./configure --localstatedir=/var
> * make

2. creating your package:
> * Then the import begins:
> * ./pre-inst-env guix import ...
> * [hack file, using emacs, maybe ./pre-inst guix edit new-package]
> * ./pre-iinst-env guix build new-package

3. checks:
guix lint
guix size
guix build --rounds=2
guix refresh -l (when updating instead of adding)

4. follow up activities:
creating the patch
sending the patch
following it on the issue tracker
incorporating feedback and resending...

WDYT?

In these series we could reference the other parts.

I would perfer to keep as few parts as possible, but this
is one way to split and organize it.
