I can see references to it, but I haven't found a way to view the
content.

I've now got to the point where I've pushed some guidance around local
development. I've also generated some dumps of the database, including a
small dump (under 1GB in size) [1].

The guidance is in the README in the Git repository [2], but I've also
changed the package definition to build a HTML version of the README,
and serve this at [3].

I've also updated the Outreachy project proposal accordingly.

1: http://data.guix.gnu.org/dumps/
2: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/data-service.git/tree/README
3: http://data.guix.gnu.org/README

So, in terms of help, this is now the time. Trying out the instructions
at [3], and reporting any errors or bits that are unclear would be
great. For the purpose of Outreachy, ideally these instructions would be
suitable for anyone who's suitable to do the project, so try and think
about them from that perspective.

Thanks,

Chris
