| I remember seeing a pad with a table comparing different markdown implementations in the context of how useful they would be for nix(os) documentation. But I can't find it anymore. Does anyone have a link and/or the answer on which implementation has been chosen in the end? | 07:21:03 | |
| Seems to be markdown-it-py, according to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-unstable/pkgs/tools/nix/nixos-render-docs/default.nix#L63 :) | 07:37:52 | |

| Hey team I'm working on migrating the first module lesson for review. I started the dev environment with | 02:02:06 | |
djacu: Unfortunately that's as expected, I think it uses nix-build underneath 😅 | 02:12:36 | |
In reply to @infinisil:matrix.orgYes, 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 | |
In reply to @fricklerhandwerk:matrix.org laughs/cries in mkDocs 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. | 02:24:46 | |

| Alright first lesson is up for review. https://github.com/NixOS/nix.dev/pull/982 | 03:14:52 | |
In reply to @djacu:matrix.orgdanielsidhion: 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 | |
In reply to @johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.hostDid they collect their findings anywhere? | 15:36:57 | |

In reply to @johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.hostI can answer some of those questions when I have time. Is it okay to edit that document? | 16:20:27 | |
| 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 | |

| 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. | 19:21:06 | |
