@j-k:matrix.orgj-kswapped it now, can mention it in the call now or the normal docs call later today13:02:12
@fricklerhandwerk:matrix.orgfricklerhandwerkI disabled the workflows to add documentation-related things from Nixpkgs, NixOS, and Nix. It's way too much stuff we can't work off anyway, and will probably even be overwhelming for dedicated maintainers. I take care of the Nix manual already, so probably no need to dump that on the team unless there are broader issues.13:08:25
@asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.ukasymmetric

i don't know if i'll be able to join the meeting today, so here's a little status update:

  • been mostly busy with maintaining nixdoc: want to understand rnix well, so can keep it up to date (and incorporate work from pennae that bumps rnix/rowan)
  • this also has lead me to review, and apply to become a shepherd for, the doc-comments RFC
  • i also started looking into how nix.dev can look+feel more official, and opened a couple PRs there

i think both of these will keep me busy for the next couple of weeks

@charles:computer.surgeryCharles Does Nix/NixOS have an equivalent documentation page to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Help:Reading#Installation_of_packages? 02:59:21
@charles:computer.surgeryCharlesI ask because I personally can't recall encountering such a thing (I've been using NixOS for nearly 2 years now I think), and if there really isn't one, I would be interested in trying to contribute it03:11:56
