@danielsidhion:nixos.devdanielsidhionI just did a re-run and it seems like a real issue, I opened an issue about it02:33:33
@lurkki:pikaviestin.fiLurkki Noticed makeDesktopItem is undocumented, in which section in the manual should it go? 10:27:13
@danielsidhion:nixos.devdanielsidhionIf you want to use an existing section, "trivial build helpers" is probably the best one to put it in. If we were to create a new section, what sort of things would you like to group together with it (so we can figure out a better section name)?11:27:57
@lurkki:pikaviestin.fiLurkki Not sure about grouping, since I'm unfamiliar with most of pkgs/build-support 12:14:35

@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil Shahar "Dawn" Or (mightyiam): Could you consider changing the name from eelco to something else? It doesn't feel right to use a person's name as a project name in general, but especially if that person is very well-known in the community already. 20:06:28
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil * Shahar "Dawn" Or (mightyiam): Could you consider changing the name from eelco (also via nix.dev) to something else? It doesn't feel right to use a person's name as a project name in general, but especially if that person is very well-known in the community already. 20:08:07

@mightyiam:matrix.org@mightyiam:matrix.orgIf Eelco is not offended then we're golden, aren't we?00:00:32
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil Shahar "Dawn" Or (mightyiam): That's definitely a requirement, but that wouldn't make it a better choice 01:26:04
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilIt leads to cases like if you say "I'd like to introduce <name>", you'd have to explain that it's actually some_thing_, not the person that everybody knows already. Or if somebody says "Have you tried <name>?" it sounds really weird if somebody isn't aware that the project <name> is a thing01:28:26
@asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.ukasymmetrici personally just find it a bit in poor taste.. seems unnecessary targeting of an individual with a joke that might make them (or other people) feel uncomfortable, for imho no apparent gain09:00:23

If Eelco is not offended then we're golden, aren't we?
the minute i even mentioned it i had to clarify because it's incredibly confusing

@dooy:matrix.org@dooy:matrix.orgIf it helps I was confused and wondered if Eelco is in Thailand13:39:19
@chococandy:matrix.orgtrinity changed their display name from chococandy to trinity.14:20:35
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil Johannes Kirschbauer @hsjobeki: Do you want write access to nixdoc? It's probably not necessary, but I'd be happy to add you, since your PR was very high quality :) 19:02:25

Maybe yes. I think this could help speed up the rfc migration.

@i97henka:matrix.orghenrik-ch Sorry, no doc meeting for me this afternoon - some family stuff to attend to. I still very much want to be part of the team. 13:15:23
@johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host@johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host Is the doc team aware that docs for lib.fixedPoints.composeExtension are broken in unstable?
