infinisil | pennae: Yeah, though I'm not sure which email is yours, I can't find a pennae one | 15:37:24 |
infinisil | I tried out something new with the google calendar event: I turned off the ability to see who's invited. This was rarely necessary and I believe it's what might be causing the emails getting sent every time a new person is invited | 15:52:39 |
infinisil | danielsidhion: I just removed somebody inactive from the invites, did you get an update email for that? | 15:54:59 |
infinisil | ^^ Or anybody else that has been getting update emails before | 15:55:24 |
infinisil | wamirez: I think you might have gotten update emails in the past, could you check? ^ | 16:05:25 |

danielsidhion | In reply to @infinisil:matrix.org danielsidhion: I just removed somebody inactive from the invites, did you get an update email for that? Didn't get any update emails | 16:13:33 |

Robert Hensing (roberth) | quick thought: maybe reconsider calling everything a manual? Although it seems to be possible to call reference material "manual", the word often refers to more guide-like material | 09:33:27 |
danielsidhion | I think the term "manual" is orthogonal to the purpose of the material. Both nix and nixpkgs manuals are actually named "reference manual" to explain their purpose (to be a reference). Personally I think the word "guide" is way more popular to refer to guide-like material (e.g. "user guide"). | 10:55:57 |
danielsidhion | Sometimes people do use the term "manual" in the form "user manual" to refer to guide-like material, though | 10:56:35 |
danielsidhion | Do you have a suggestion that would make things clearer? | 10:56:58 |
danielsidhion | As for the nixos manual - I'd agree with renaming it to nixos user guide or nixos user manual or something like that | 10:59:02 |
danielsidhion | Maybe "nix(pkgs) reference (material|documentation|book)" and "nixos user guide", and avoid any misunderstanding with the word manual entirely? | 11:02:36 |
Anderson Torres | What we have that would be equiv to A handbook? | 12:59:10 |
infinisil | Maybe just "Nix[pkgs] reference" | 18:31:47 |
Anderson Torres | * What we have that would be equiv to a handbook? | 21:28:46 |
Anderson Torres | hum, I feel it lacks something like The FreeBSD Handbook. | 21:30:49 |
@fractivore:cyberia.club | I burnt out quickly on the diagramming thing, but I would still like to help with documentation as I have energy. Are the doc team meetings open to everyone? | 23:17:11 |
