It contains the documentation of the currently-packaged Guix snapshot:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix package -A guix
guix 0.11.0 out gnu/packages/package-management.scm:71:2
guix 0.11.0-1.4420 out gnu/packages/package-management.scm:216:4
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
We update the snapshot once every few weeks.
Eventually ‘guix pull’ will be able to update guix.info; it doesn’t do
that currently, which is a problem as you noticed.

Try “make && make html”.
However, I think you should try ‘info’ again. The interface is not any
weirder than that of a browser after all, see “info info”. :-)
