Re: ERIS, GNUNet and Guix

Hello,


not sure what Christians thoughts about ERIS are, but in general we are 
open to the idea and FS needs a rewrite anyway (according to CHristian).

That being said, we currently have a couple of bigger fish to fry:


- New CORE subsystem

- Finish up R5N specification and RFC

- Stabilize new transport subsystem.

You are very welcome to help with any part of the roadmap... we are 
swamped ;)
