I may not have had such a wonderful couple of years following my chance to see the Guix community and benefit from their insights and ambition. While I had the fortune to pop in from Brussels multiple remote events should grow the community and energise it so that face-to-face activity can be more impactful. > Another idea that I didn't mention in the talk, is that we should use > Skribilo for the Guix manual! :-) It would be good for both Skribilo and > Guix.

While transposing Skribilo and other formats is currently peripheral to my (Icebreaker) project I feel that over time Id want to make it interoperable with other document formats.
