Hello Guix community! I just learned about Guix from the GNU Google Summer of Code project page, and I'm very interested in the idea of a fully functional package manager. That one of the project ideas was bundling the distribution with a window manager sparked in me the idea to bundle it with a fully-functional window manager. I originally envisioned xmonad as the wm of choice, due to my interest in Haskell, and emailed Ludo to this effect. He told me it might be more beneficial to use a natively Guile Scheme wm, which he observed are few, not very mature, and generally stagnant already. Upon looking around further, I came across stumpwm, implemented in 100% Common Lisp, so I propose a compromise: adapt and package stumpwm for use with Guile Scheme and Guix, and then use the resulting environment to have a free software distribution configurable primarily in Guile Scheme.
I chose stumpwm because I prefer tiling managers to conventional ones, though I would respect if the view of the crowd was that conventional wms would be more useful to have for the distro - there are Common Lisp (and even Guile, sort of) alternatives in the conventional realm. Thank you in advance for all of your input! [Chris] Dale
