@linus:schreibt.jetztLinux HackermanI feel like copying the enable option description would be more informative without being much more effort?13:23:22
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her) oh you mean like the "c is a y for a" 13:23:23
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92But it was a mechanical task13:23:23
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92sometimes the enable description is helpful.13:24:02
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92But it was not always the case13:24:08
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92But either way, if not all modules get a description than we have more time to make the rest better anyway13:24:40
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92I think it would also help to set an upper bound on the length13:25:17
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her)Eh? If we do the module description one and done then it's not too much time wasted.13:25:20
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaplease apply on the discourse already πŸ˜›13:25:21
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her)if you're talking to me, i was just doing that ;p13:25:37
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92Sure, it might be automateable but we would also waste the readers time.13:26:03
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her)Isn't that also the same with listing them all without descriptions?13:26:29
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92If it's just one compressed paragraph, that one can skip over?13:27:18
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92I think that might be worth a try13:27:24
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92winterqt: consider yourself hired :) Please post on https://discourse.nixos.org/t/22-11-call-for-release-manager-and-editor/21861 :)13:28:14
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her)i was writing :) sec13:28:32
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92You can add me as the previous release editor as well13:28:32

In reply to @joerg:thalheim.io
You can add me as the previous release editor as well
in my post or the nomination post you mean
13:29:35
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her)(main post)13:29:39
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her)I assume my post since you already are mentioned in the main one?13:39:21
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her)

There should always be two release managers, where each release manager serves
for two consecutive terms/releases.

this conflicts with the rest of the post/the last few releases πŸ™ƒ should it be changed?

13:40:26
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92It says "release manager". I don't think we have this process for release editors yet, but I don't see any reason we should not just do the same for release notes.13:48:02

No, I mean that for the past few (2?) releases, we've only had one manager.
13:48:35
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92There was one manager, but the previous one was still supporting the current one13:49:02
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her)So that should be reworded, probably...? Or maybe I'm just reading it wrong.13:49:35
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92I would leave this to janne.hess 13:52:36
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her) Janne Heß: thoughts? 13:53:12
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her)Still not sure how we'd go through and find e.g. significant module additions/changes, would it be a good idea to ask people (Discourse post) maybe?13:59:16
