Deleted -Johannes Kirschbauer- reach me via @hsjobeki:matrix.org instead | Uh i didnt plan. But it would be so nice to call for help with the Last Bits of migration | 08:41:00 |
Deleted -Johannes Kirschbauer- reach me via @hsjobeki:matrix.org instead | @ronef:matrix.org: i am going on train now. A little Community effort to finish with doc-comments migration would be so nice. Its been a huge milestone and is actually very easy. But a lot of handwork is required.
I could make a little guide for how to do it with the hope that some people are willing to jump in for the missing mile | 08:44:07 |
fricklerhandwerk | In reply to @brunbjerg:matrix.org It seems that I need to study the documentation more before, I can contribute.
I will donate to the Nix Documentation team as a first step.
Also, I have been reading through the dev.nix and of the parts that I have read I think does a really good job!
I may have visited nix.dev before, if I had it was not clear to me that nix.dev serves as an entrypoint for all the other documentation sources.
Also, the fact that when you go to nixos.org and from the main page are not 100% certain where the main documentation site is, seems to me a pressing point (what do you guys think?). Ideally we should be directing as much trafic through nix.dev as possible when people are looking for documentation? Thanks a lot for the financial support!!
And adding clearer pointers to documentation from nixos.org would certainly help | 08:55:45 |
ronef | Johannes Kirschbauer @hsjobeki: see if there's anything you'd want to add here about it Are you going to be around at NixCon? https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1G9Rc6cxWKgMM1q0DtgwyWUauBZ0vBLhAiV3M5ZuvEyo/edit#slide=id.g23efee59dda_0_212 | 09:05:12 |

Deleted -Johannes Kirschbauer- reach me via @hsjobeki:matrix.org instead | @fricklerhandwerk:matrix.org: do we want to add nix-documentation team Slide?
There was quite some stuff Happening this year.
Stuff for reference documentation
- Jan noogle 2024 released
- doc-comments now implemented in nix-repl (roberth ported from lix i think)
- Infra / Domain Changed (you did this i think with roberth)
- multi Version nix Manual
- nix.dev (i dont know what Majors happened there)
... Maybe we should sit down and Filter Out the important stuff? | 09:26:55 |
ronef | Happy for you to have a slide and take ~2 minutes for doc team updates and call to actions | 09:28:18 |

... Maybe we should sit down and Filter Out the important stuff? Tbh IMO this year was rather quiet. We did a bunch of things for sure, but nothing qualitatively different from last year except doc comments landing. Maybe versioned Nix manuals, but that’s a lot less important for the NixCon audience than doc comments I think | 09:30:38 |

h7x4 | Just a quick question about the lib type signatures - is it an active decision we have made not to note subtypes for attrsets? Or has it just become this way?
# Current state for lists
map :: (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b]
# Current state for attrs
mapAttrs :: (String -> Any -> Any) -> AttrSet -> AttrSet
# I'd like something like this
mapAttrs :: (String -> a -> b) -> { * :: a } -> { * :: b }
# Or alternatively just
mapAttrs :: (String -> a -> b) -> { a } -> { b }

I would like to encurage explicit types. Its something historicially adapted differently everywhere in nixpkgs. I have this repo to try to harmonize them eventually: https://github.com/hsjobeki/nix-types | 16:59:47 |
