 @johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host | infinisil: can I get some more feedback for this PR. https://github.com/nix-community/nixdoc/pull/121
I'd be super happy if we get this merged, since we broke the last 2 versions of nixdoc. (at least for nixpkgs manual)
Also roberth opened a PR that is waiting for new features in nixdoc. Which are in a follow up PR.

 djacu | Hey team
I'm working on migrating the first module lesson for review. I started the dev environment with nix-shell --run devmode but every change I make requires a page refresh which takes 20+ seconds. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

| infinisil | djacu: Unfortunately that's as expected, I think it uses nix-build underneath 😅 | 02:12:36 |

djacu: Unfortunately that's as expected, I think it uses nix-build underneath 😅 Yes, and unfortunately that's still better than Sphinx randomly not updating stuff that changes. I was so fed up with it that I took the performance hit | 02:22:39 |

But seriously, if we want to have a discussion about mkDocs, I have had experience with it. I can't remember who, but I spoke with someone on the docs team about it like a month ago.

danielsidhion: Was carrying together more documentation frameworks pros and cons. Ideally we'd find some architectural solution/improvement for the nix-ecosystem as a whole. But thats another long story. | 15:29:06 |

I can answer some of those questions when I have time. Is it okay to edit that document? | 16:20:27 |
| @johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host | Hm. Not sure this belongs to danielSidhion. Id at least not delete stuff, but if you know some answers that you'd save a lot of time i guess. | 16:38:01 |

| djacu | Hey team
I met null in the JB Nix Nerds matrix space. We've been chatting about how they can get involved and they mentioned they are a Technical Writer. They said they would like to help out so I invited them here and gave them a link to the nixos calendar.

| @deltaflow:matrix.org | Hi all, love Nix, love the community, and looking to help out wherever I can.
I'm in technical writing/editing/knowledge management for a telecommunications company by trade, so hoping I can use those skills here. | 19:31:48 |

| @deltaflow:matrix.org | For sure! Going to try and join office hours / do some general lurking. But will compile some thoughts 🙂 | 00:31:37 |
