I only have a short comment for now:
1. our initial invitation forgot to point out in a better way that we
(GNUnet) did not come up with the term 'NGI'.
2. This is a GNUnet invitation. I have no idea why you keep pulling
infotropique (all small letters) in, which is related but not GNUnet
itself.

>   * Guix packaging (WIP by ng0)
>   * GNUnet integration into GuixSD (WIP by ng0)
>   * A new GNUnet website (coming up, moving away from Drupal)

>   * Our role in the European Commission's Next Generation Internet
>   * The use of a deteministic debugger to get the annoying bugs removed.[7]
>   * Better guidance for interested people to join the GNUnet community.
>   * AGPL Licensing - Will it save us?
>   * CI/CD for GNUnet, and adjacent projects
>   * Fixing gnunet-fs
