 fricklerhandwerk | Source comments are just character sequences, but you're trying to point to a web document, which in turn is compiled from characters somewhere else, etc. | 21:41:14 |
 Qyriad | @Johannes Kirschbauer @hsjobeki like how haskell's docs do it? all the types and whatnot in the source view in https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.19.1.0/docs/src/Control.Arrow.html#Arrow are clickable and whatnot | 21:43:18 |

| @jade_:matrix.org | (actually i wonder if nixd already contains the necessary technology) | 04:01:47 |

If you could give a concrete example i can tell you if its a wiring issue or would need to be maintained seperately anyways in the long term. I remembered that the writers because some of them are dynamically created by partial application I am thinking of the functions in this file: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/8f0d434c23d2ae84d0bf32622358361ade96d077/pkgs/build-support/writers/scripts.nix#L402 | 07:15:42 |
 @johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host | I think they do. I also started a minimal project that does only the reference tracking https://github.com/hsjobeki/flutsch by value introspection | 07:30:53 |

| @johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host | jade_: | 07:32:09 |
| @johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host | Its very POC and need more love and time until its usable | 07:32:56 |
| @jade_:matrix.org | oh nice | 07:33:03 |
| @jade_:matrix.org | still thinking it might be a bit challenging to e.g. take a huge trace of nix evaluation that annotates value type info and sources at every position. but it would be so good | 07:35:14 |
| @johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host | Its basically how noogle works. (Not via traces, but value introspection) | 07:38:19 |
| @jade_:matrix.org | but having info inside of functions would sure be useful | 07:42:24 |

We can add them to the index.

| fricklerhandwerk | Hey docs people and Dominic Mills, how is the application to Google Season of Docs going? It we don’t get anything exciting, we can just apply for writing 2-3 key tutorials. It’s boring but we have precedence that it can work, and we can cheaply measure success by looking at the Google Search dashboard and view statistics | 20:43:06 |

 Dominic Mills | I've been working it. I got some interesting ideas from danielsidhion and Shahar "Dawn" Or (mightyiam). I'll publish it publicly tomorrow or Wednesday on my Github. | 20:45:24 |

 danielsidhion | Given there hasn't been a meeting on a Monday for essentially 2 months now, are you folks ok if I make a PR to say we only meet once a week on the nix.dev readme? Will also need to change the meeting invite on the calendar (I don't have access to it) | 07:18:20 |

| fricklerhandwerk | BTW I still won't be able to make the meeting next Monday. Next meeting I'll join will be March 28. Would be great if we clarified the GSoD situation until then, it's not that much time left | 21:53:04 |

Updates? I had some setbacks .i.e. power cuts. I'm aiming to push something out tomorrow. | 00:08:39 |
