(nix.dev has link checking and it regularly messes up builds because someone stops tolerating us hitting them)

In reply to @fricklerhandwerk:matrix.org
Sure. But adding checks as a first step is not wrong, it will prevent things from falling apart while we're thinking

does it work outside of sphinx?

am I right in assuming nix+nixpkgs+nixos manuals and wiki.nixos.org have a lot of overlap in people contributing?

Eh, not that much. There are like 2-3 regular contributors who have touched all of them, but otherwise these are mostly disjoint groups as far as I can tell.

I mean, it's complicated. Define "a lot". There's not that many people working on documentation overall.

maybe a single gha which checks external links among all manuals + home-pages + wiki-dump could work?

I'm also interested in things like this https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nix-ecosystem-mind-map/28682/17
mindmaps, landscape, map-of-github, awesome-lists etc.

• are the graphviz graphs in that thread maintained anywhere? say in some unofficial toy repo?
• also nixos-landscape has been offline for a long time, that's a bummer

Another thing I'm interested in is to visualize/map nixpkgs health, i.e. how many packages are fresh, maintainer activity, most maintainted packages, packages without maintainers, long inactive maintainers etc. all of these clearly visible somewhere like nixpkgs.health. I see rfc 180 which adresses a few of these.

For data wrangling, you may be interested in https://github.com/Nix-Security-WG/nix-security-tracker

There's a full DB model of Nixpkgs metadata and a worker for periodic evaluations. (The end game of this would be Hydra dumping all the information directly into the database for everyone to build tools around.)

ryantm: I guess especially @pennae, who has been saying a lot that nixos-render-docs can already render with multiple pages with some small changes to the code. Furthermore Johannes Kirschbauer @hsjobeki and danielsidhion who have been investigating existing docs rendering tools to see if we could maybe not roll our own tooling at all. Your PR introduces yet another custom-built tool 😅
