Welcome! For suggestions, typically they are made here, in a GitHub Issue, or by implementing the change and making a pull request to the appropriate repository. In all cases there will be an associated thread of comments and follow up suggestions. It never fails to surprise me how time flies. This comment is also an attempt to understand how badly I'll spam the main channel when I comment in this thread... | 21:34:57 |

It never fails to surprise me how time flies. This comment is also an attempt to understand how badly I'll spam the main channel when I comment in this thread... clearly in no particular rush from my side 😅 I've attached a brief proposal relating to nix docs for consideration. Am happy to come along to an office hours session if that is useful / appropriate, or just receive feedback here, whatever works 🙂 | 21:39:27 |

 willbush | I was trying to try to help out in the nix.dev repo by going through old issues and seeing if any can be closed or easily fixed. Should I ping someone from the issue if I think it can be closed or just leave a comment or something? | 00:23:44 |

I was thinking to try to help out in the nix.dev repo by going through old issues and seeing if any can be closed or easily fixed. Should I ping someone from the issue if I think it can be closed or just leave a comment or something? Hey, thanks for taking the tour! This stuff is very helpful. It’s best to comment on the issue though. Everyone can see it there and follow up. And for me personally it’s easiest to handle because I get notifications and can take it from there. | 06:05:55 |

 Philip Taron (UTC-8) | Hey folks -- I'd like to make the NixOS manual and the Nixpkgs manual be exposed in pkgs as a normal package. I made some initial work in this draft PR https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/311459 and got positive feedback from Johannes Kirschbauer @hsjobeki. I'm planning on picking it up again today and driving for completion.
Any objections or redirections before I do that?>

Great stuff, thanks a lot! | 17:07:06 |
 Sandro 🐧 | Will this trigger one rebuild for every PR touching modules in any way? | 17:07:55 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | Only if the documentation changes, I think. | 17:10:16 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | * Only if the documentation changes, I think. But I don't know. | 17:10:31 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | fricklerhandwerk: regarding your comment, note that doc/default.nix and doc/shell.nix remain: the guts of how they're implemented move over. | 17:11:14 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | I think that's the way it ought to be. | 17:11:25 |

fricklerhandwerk: regarding your comment, note that doc/default.nix and doc/shell.nix remain: the guts of how they're implemented move over. I understand, and splitting that into two parts doesn't make much sense to me. I suggest not breaking locality | 17:12:10 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | Hmmm, I really liked how doc/ was now the actual documentation and there wasn't what I considered to be an awkward doc-support directory that wasn't documentation. But I'll take your feedback. | 17:14:31 |

I understand, but arguably none of that content should actually live in there, and instead be right in or next to the code it's documenting | 17:18:56 |
| fricklerhandwerk | And also the glue code is hardly separable from the content structure that it helps produce | 17:19:24 |
