+* How to help:
+  Most of this advice is about reproducible builds, not bootstrapping,
+  as that is a much harder project.
+
+  - fix reproducibility issues listed in Debian's issue tracker (focus

+  - experiment with NixOS / GuixSD to get a better grasp on the
+    problem space of reproducibility
+
+  If you want to contribute to bootstrapping, look at
+  bootstrappable.org and their wiki. Several initiatives such as MES
+  could need help!
