what is the current ongoing documentation effort, I mean what is being worked on? where can I follow it?
It’s been a bit quiet around the team recently, and the project board is out of date. There are a few isolated efforts here and there, and I keep reviewing PRs. Any help is greatly appreciated - if you want to pick up or start something, we can supply all the information you need to get going

I've added a broken link checker github workflow to nixos wiki infra recently and plan to do something similar to find broken/outdated links in nixpkgs as a maintainer script.

In the Nixpkgs and NixOS manuals, internal references are already checked. You could run lychee impurely to check external links though

@phanirithvij:matrix.orgloudgolem yes, external links in manuals is what I was thinking, also checking meta.homepage meta.changelog if possible for all packages 20:42:12
@fricklerhandwerk:matrix.orgfricklerhandwerk

The Nix manual could need help with internal references though:
