Excellent.  You can write the article anytime you wish, as you see fit.

The blog posts are located at:

  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/guix-artwork.git/tree/website/posts

and you can write it as Markdown (.md file).

When you write it you can email it to interested readers (count me in)
if you’d rather avoid spoiling it by posting it here.  :-)

Thanks,
Ludo’.
