https://discourse.nixos.org/t/announcing-nixlang-wiki/36049 😕 I saw this and wondered if there was something I could do to help the official docs team. So I'm here now as an experienced dev, but NixOS neophyte. Maybe I can help document stuff when I get stuck because the docs seem to have some decent assumed knowledge that I don't currently have. | 15:49:18 |

 infinisil | curtismchale: Awesome! I think one of the easiest things to help out with is to just read through nix.dev, to both learn about Nix, and to discover the structure of nix.dev. And if you find any problems, anything that's unclear or doesn't work, file an issue in the github repo, or even better, submit a PR to fix it :) | 16:17:49 |
 Minijackson | hey! I've had someone skim through the Nix language basics tutorial of nix.dev, and he mentioned something quite interesting, there's no mention of the if ... then ... else ... construct | 17:42:46 |
| Minijackson | is there somewhere else where it's introduced ? | 17:43:00 |

| infinisil | Minijackson: Looks like an oversight! Could you open an issue for this? | 18:23:59 |
| Minijackson | sure! | 18:24:23 |

Minijackson: Looks like an oversight! Could you open an issue for this? It’s not an oversight. As mentioned at least twice in bold letters in the introduction, this is not supposed to be a complete overview but shall rather point out things that are both important and unusual about the language. Conditionals are neither, therefore they aren’t there. The article is very long already. | 19:27:33 |
