 @penguincoder:matrix.wolfie.pw | As a beginner myself, it would be helpful to have those kinds of paths written down so that I can see the choices that are made and get a better handle on why as well as what. | 15:06:40 |

Then the problem should become a tree-like shape. Start at the very beginning, then make a bunch of choices (IOW pick a tool), and go down a bunch of paths to show how you might navigate the solutions. For instance, after getting nix installed, you could make a flake tutorial, then use flake-parts down one path, and flake-utils down another... then show how you might make derivations after that using each system. Yes, that is exactly what this PR is trying to address: https://github.com/NixOS/nix.dev/pull/701 | 15:41:58 |

 @zmitchell:matrix.org | proofconstruction: I was going to post the working group meeting notes today. I'm working on the This Month in Nix Docs post now, please don't post that too. | 00:02:41 |

 infinisil | zmitchell: Hmm you didn't reuse the previous start of the update: https://pad.lassul.us/BQletwJYRkWAVZ9HY76kGA | 00:37:21 |
| infinisil | And the Nixpkgs PR list seems rather poor, we curated that in the above pad | 00:37:35 |
| infinisil | In particular https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/245243 seems to be missing, which we put as a highlight in the pad | 00:37:52 |
| infinisil | * And the Nixpkgs PR list seems rather poor (has various package updates), we curated that in the above pad | 00:38:25 |
| infinisil | (actually, seems to be written about, but not linked to!) | 00:42:22 |
 proofconstruction | Apologies, I just realized nothing got posted from yesterday and dumped the notes to discourse before going out for a walk. I can still edit the post if you have additions. | 02:47:18 |
| @zmitchell:matrix.org | I took all of the bullets from the highlights section and wrote about them. The only one I didn’t write about was the code examples test because it hasn’t been merged yet, and, as discussed on Thursday, will take quite some time before it gets there. | 18:37:24 |
| @zmitchell:matrix.org | And the extra PRs look like they're because of the additional tag that was added to the script that scrapes GitHub | 18:43:34 |
| @zmitchell:matrix.org | I think it was a good idea to include that tag (I'd rather not miss something), but I can actually curate the PR list next time. Generally I'm not sure people care all that much :) | 18:44:55 |

| infinisil | zmitchell: Still, the link to the clean up contributing docs PR is missing | 14:54:04 |
| @zmitchell:matrix.org | I added a comment with the link | 16:40:27 |

| fricklerhandwerk | I’m in the process of joining the meeting but there is some weird authentication issue | 14:03:29 |
| proofconstruction | Ah right, they changed things to require login now | 14:05:10 |
| fricklerhandwerk | Yeah and that fails with an error message | 14:05:53 |
| fricklerhandwerk | Sigh… | 14:07:18 |
| proofconstruction | I actually can't even find the auth mechanism | 14:09:27 |
| proofconstruction | OK found it but now it just hangs trying to hand off to the client | 14:11:09 |
| proofconstruction | Ah there's the error. Looks like we need a new solution already. | 14:11:54 |
