So is nrd its own extension of github flavored markdown? more a combination of commonmark (because the documentation rfcs specified commonmark as the language to use), gfm features, myst features, and a few custom additions. it doesn't support all gfm features, but it does support tables. the rest isn't all that useful for the nixos/nixpkgs manual usecase (task lists aren't useful in a non-interactive setting and can be rendered differently anyway, in general shouldn't be used because parts render out to manpages and can't support html, etc). | 12:21:44 |

 danielsidhion | New RFC which is relevant for us: https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/174
I haven't read through it all, but adding it as a topic of discussion for the next meeting. Given it's a bit long, I'm bringing awareness now so we can give it a read before the next meeting | 23:29:27 |

 infinisil | I honestly don't think the wiki is going to "save" documentation. It's just going to be another resource with potentially duplicate and outdated information, not much changed from previous wiki attempts | 21:48:56 |
| infinisil | https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/NixOS_Wiki:History gives a great overview | 21:49:34 |

I honestly don't think the wiki is going to "save" documentation. It's just going to be another resource with potentially duplicate and outdated information, not much changed from previous wiki attempts It can work if Someone(tm) takes the time to curate it. As I argued on the GitHub issue, we do have huge gaps in terms of user guides for NixOS, and this is where the Wiki would be actually useful - as long as it's limited to that. | 11:05:51 |

henrik-ch what do you think? I probably will at most listen in on Thursday, but maybe we should just merge that one.

It seems all documentation jobs from the last 4 hrs kept failing in nixpks. Who could take a look at cachix?
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/actions/workflows/manual-nixpkgs.yml
Binary cache nixpkgs-ci doesn't exist or it's private and you need a token: Start by visiting https://app.cachix.org and create a personal/cache auth token.
To configure the token:
a) Via environment variable:
$ export CACHIX_AUTH_TOKEN=<token...>
b) Via configuration file:
$ cachix authtoken <token...>::error::Action failed with error: Error: The process '/home/runner/.nix-profile/bin/cachix' failed with exit code 1
| 09:21:59 |
| infinisil | Johannes Kirschbauer @hsjobeki Oh that's odd, no idea about that. Can you open an issue and ping the original authors of the workflow? | 09:24:43 |
