 @picnoir:alternativebit.fr | Hey, I just stumbled upon this:
At some point we agreed to move the manuals to nix.dev
https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage/issues/1251#issuecomment-1994193106
Not sure what is the best place to discuss this. Obviously not the above issue :)
I'd like to voice some concern about that: there's a lot of hyperlinks pointing to the manual on the web. Doing so will break those for little benefit.

 @johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host | * Or is that just because nobody added them yet. (Some are in flake.nix it seems but not in the pkgs itself) | 12:10:13 |

I think this matrix channel is always best for asking about documentation concerns. | 12:18:41 |
| @johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host | Picnoir: can you give some more details:
there's a lot of hyperlinks pointing to the manual on the web
What exact links, do you mean on the nixos website or in nix.dev?
the manual on the web.
Do you mean all the manuals? Or the nixpkgs manual ? or the nixos manual ?

| @picnoir:alternativebit.fr | I'm mostly talking about links living on blog posts and overall pages not controlled by the documentation team. | 12:23:03 |

| @picnoir:alternativebit.fr | And yes, all three main manuals: Nix, NixOS and Nixpkgs | 12:23:27 |
| @picnoir:alternativebit.fr | Nix for the language bit | 12:23:35 |
| @picnoir:alternativebit.fr | NixOS for the modules configurations. | 12:23:40 |
| @johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host | Ah okay understood. | 12:23:54 |
