uhm but isn't the idea of the video "hi, I'm new, I am trying to use
GNU Guix, how can I ask for help?" That was what I had in mind, or at
least what I understood. Maybe if there is enough time, we can add it,
but I feel it is kind of advanced for the video.

I agree with this, we can show a screenshot of that part of the site :)

I mentioned that the videos show at the end a slide with the link for
the documentation, but does not harm adding it again.

Here we need to show like in cli sessions or just explain it?

Already mentioned my idea about debbugs. Don't know what mumi is :/
