 i97henka | This is the learning journey working group | 13:02:24 |
 @mightyiam:matrix.org | Oh, okay | 13:02:42 |
 pennae | couldn't make it to the meeting, but checking the notes:
is it OK to pull in nodejs and a larger tree of dependencies for an update to the manuals' build system? This is related to a live-reload feature.
no, we worked our ass of getting large dependencies out of the manual | 15:19:37 |

| pennae | live reload isn't something we can currently do at all anyway because every rebuild is necessarily a complete rebuild | 15:21:30 |
| pennae | there's no benefit to adding that much complexity over a small script that's pretty much inotifywait | while read; do nix-build; done | 15:22:09 |
| pennae | (we're in favor of the script fwiw) | 15:22:30 |
| pennae | we really have to get other things in order first before live-reload even begins to make sense | 15:33:50 |
 ronef | Quick update & question. We plan to announce the migration of Nix.dev to the community/foundation.
- Let me know if there's any thoughts on that
- I thought to take advantage of that announcement and potentially mention that folks can join the documentation team if they wish to contribute. Would this be relevant/interesting? If so, what's the best way for an interested community member to reach out?

Quick update & question. We plan to announce the migration of Nix.dev to the community/foundation.

- I thought to take advantage of that announcement and potentially mention that folks can join the documentation team if they wish to contribute. Would this be relevant/interesting? If so, what's the best way for an interested community member to reach out?
- I think it's good to make the announcement with the context that it's intended to be the home of Nix documentation, but there's lots of work to do in order to get it looking how we want.
- I think the best place would be to direct them to this page (https://github.com/NixOS/nix.dev/tree/master/maintainers) since it has links to our weekly meetings, how people can contribute, etc. We can always use more maintainers. The best way to get in touch is through our weekly meetings since it's more efficient to transmit context that way. If they can't make the meetings, which is totally understandable, I would say the Nix Documentation Matrix channel (this channel).

| ronef | Sending the announcement for review, feel free to edit directly :) | 16:55:17 |
| @zmitchell:matrix.org | I think we should add a linkchecker run triggered on a timer to nix.dev GitHub Actions. I pretty frequently get failed CI runs that have nothing to do with my changes because an anchor link somewhere broke. For instance: here | 18:34:51 |

 infinisil | I have started documenting the overall file structure of Nixpkgs here and since I have a good overview of Nixpkgs, I'm considering taking ownership of at least the general Nixpkgs manual structure | 23:08:01 |

| Domen Kožar | quite consistent results over different social media | 11:05:03 |
 toonn | Is that really debatable at this point? It *should* teach about them. It should just also explain that they're still an experimental feature. | 12:46:44 |
