Thanks for reaching out to us! I’m Cc’ing Ekaitz who’s willing to
mentor this effort according to
<https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/GSoC-2024> (other people
familiar with ‘guix pack’, myself included, can give a hand during the
project).
The first steps for GSoC candidates is usually to get familiar with the
project and its code base. I would first recommend installing Guix and
playing around with it, including with ‘guix pack’. You could try
making a first contribution, for example by adding a package that you
need but is missing. Here’s a good entry point:
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Contributing.html
These are the first things that come to mind but Ekaitz might have other
ideas!
Cheers,
Ludo’.
