@fricklerhandwerk:matrix.orgfricklerhandwerkI finally uploaded a little introductory video for working on the Nix manual: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ogaUFuAkCY09:52:59

Feedback appreciated, also what else would be worth covering without too much effort
This video is great. I wish there were more of this type. Improvement suggestion: Don't use your history to recall commands. Also, when using additional tools (like hub) tell your audience how to get them.

Maybe would be great to see how to change builtins/primop docs.
And what conventions to follow there roughly.

Or another thing: you didnt show how to refresh the manual in the browser really fast. If you change anything in a c file make is pretty slow and you have to wait 5 minutes for a typo fix to compile.

Got many stalled documentation PRs in nixpkgs.
danielsidhion was reviewing them. But somehow the efforts died out during the spring time.

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pulls/hsjobeki

Does anyone want to pick up one to review / merge ?
