 Mic92 | infinisil: Don't wait for me. I don't think I contribute enough to nixos documentation to sit in this meeting. I think I rather want to spent more time on improving the documentation in my own nix-related projects instead. | 17:19:37 |
| Mic92 | i.e. I am working on https://github.com/nix-community/disko, it's a cool project but the documentation is bad... | 17:21:10 |

 sterni | do we have casing rules anywhere? nixpkgs or Nixpkgs? | 01:13:53 |
 infinisil | sterni: Apparently uppercase: https://nix.dev/glossary | 01:16:48 |
| sterni | that predates nix.dev being moved into the NixOS namespace though | 01:17:46 |
| infinisil | sterni: Iirc it was established by the doc team and there's no intention to change it | 01:19:42 |
| sterni | it is not consistent in the manual atm in any case | 01:20:30 |
| infinisil | sterni: Help appreciated :D | 01:21:31 |
| infinisil | But yeah I'd say let's stick with the uppercase version for at least new docs then and make it consistent when we have the time for it | 01:22:10 |
| infinisil | (but also, there's other things that would benefit being worked on more) | 01:23:42 |

sterni: Apparently uppercase: https://nix.dev/glossary Fun fact: most people around me pronounce nixpkgs nix-p-k-g-s | 12:36:14 |
|  Yuu Yin changed their display name from yuu to Yuu Yin. | 13:42:12 |
 adamcstephens | I always read it as Nix Packages | 21:52:46 |

Fun fact: most people around me pronounce nixpkgs nix-p-k-g-s That’s why I wrote that down. | 22:20:17 |
 toonn | Is the p-k-g-s supposed to sound like puh kuh gehs? Or pee kay gee es? | 23:04:55 |

| Sandro 🐧 | pe-ka-ges

Is the p-k-g-s supposed to sound like puh kuh gehs? Or pee kay gee es? I just read like "nix packages". like wtf not lol | 00:24:03 |
| toonn | AndersonTorres: No, I meant whether Sandro meant people around him say the letters as in the alphabet or as in their most common sounds. For example, the letter P is "named" Pee in english but is usually pronounced more like puh in the middle of a word. | 01:37:06 |
| toonn | I'm just really confused why people would spell out the PKGS part. | 01:37:24 |
| fricklerhandwerk | In reply to @toonn:matrix.org
I'm just really confused why people would spell out the PKGS part. Because it's not a word that you can read out loud their language. It's not necessarily obvious to everyone that It's an abbreviation instead of an acronym. | 10:45:26 |
| fricklerhandwerk | Also if you want to tell people how to pronounce something, use the IPA. | 10:45:28 |

| infinisil | Almost nobody knows the IPA though 😅 | 10:49:41 |
| fricklerhandwerk | Now you do. There are plenty of online tools to produce the IPA representation of words from different languages. | 10:50:05 |

| infinisil | I knew about it, but I can't read now write it properly without help. I like how wikipedia does it | 10:51:32 |
