I’ve looked at the screenshots and have to say that this is really
looking good already.  Exciting!

Okay.

Excellent.

Sounds good.

I will take a look today and reply with some comments on your commits.

Could you share the error message with us?

I wasn’t sure about this, so I asked on the #guix IRC channel.  Ludovic
replied there that the Cuirass repository contains a “random”
specification in “examples/random.scm”.  It uses
“examples/random-jobs.scm” to generate … random jobs :)

Note that you’ll need to have Guix installed to use this, and you need
to start Cuirass from your source checkout.

These sound like good next steps.  Thank you, Tatiana!
