I've just checked the page. Yes, I feel that it's about packaging the
dependencies. So if you like tiling WMs, you can package one (by the
way, there is a patch [1] that adds dwm to 'core-updates'). Then you
can package things like PDF viewers and other graphical tools. For
example, you can create a list of tools which are shipped with GNOME.
This will reduce the amount of work when we decide to package a
non-tiling WM.
So, here is a to-do list that summarizes the above:
1. Choose a WM.
2. For instance, find which packages are shipped with GNOME.
3. Use 'guix import' and 'guix package -A' to identify the missing
packages. It will help to determine what should be done first.
But first, let's hear what others think.
