 @jade_:matrix.org | anyone not in the in-group, I think we can get help from people who haven't met irl at nixcon on this :P | 22:21:47 |
 infinisil | It does take a lot of time and is not very rewarding work, it's really hard to get anybody to do this | 22:22:31 |
| infinisil | I'm the exception because I get paid for this, definitely not the norm | 22:22:58 |
| @jade_:matrix.org | yeah. i guess, the thing is, currently the improvement ideas are on matrix which is very ephemeral, and so it's very much just what is in everyone's head, and ....
I have a few friends who have worked on Nix things but have had bad experiences having their things bikeshed (sometimes because of misalignment with vision), and so it would be good to have a list of improvements that are explicitly encouraged and on-roadmap, to give newer people more independent agency on doing them.

| infinisil | Yeah agreed. The docs team is doing that to a degree with docs, but it could be done better. | 22:27:35 |
| infinisil | It's much better than a year ago though :) | 22:27:56 |

I'd be in favor of making nix.dev be the centralised place for docs (but really all of Nix, see https://github.com/nix-rfc-canonical-domain/rfcs/blob/canonical-domain/rfcs/1000-canonical-domain.md) I so wish that we could acquire https://github.com/nix/ from the current user. More than even a domain name, github is the locus of Nix activity. | 22:42:41 |
| infinisil | Philip Taron: Just sent that user an email a couple weeks ago, haven't heard back though :( | 22:43:26 |
