asymmetric | would love your feedback on https://github.com/NixOS/nix.dev/pull/680 | 13:20:35 |
@zmitchell:matrix.org | In reply to @asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.uk didn't we use to have a bot that commented on PRs with a url to ta preview version of nix.dev? I think that’s only for branches on the NixOS/nix.dev repo, not on PRs from forks | 14:34:24 |
@zmitchell:matrix.org | Jan Tojnar No, I asked a couple of questions on the issue and never got a response, so I didn’t want to spend time on it | 14:35:24 |
@zmitchell:matrix.org | Just FYI I'll be taking a short break from docs team meetings in the month of September. Not only do I need the break, but I'll be out of town at conferences (including NixCon) for the first half of the month so I wouldn't be able to attend those meetings anyway. | 14:35:41 |

| @ninjatrappeur:alternativebit.fr changed their display name from NinjaTrappeur .: DECT 8711 to NinjaTrappeur. | 11:12:05 |
@zmitchell:matrix.org | proofconstruction people really like your tutorial: https://www.reddit.com/r/NixOS/comments/15v1r4o/new_official_tutorial_series/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1 | 17:16:10 |
proofconstruction | Nice to log on to that win today | 17:47:17 |
@zmitchell:matrix.org | An idea I had from one of the comments would be to create a list of “practice packages” selected from nixpkgs and grouped by difficulty to serve as a list of packaging exercises | 21:19:11 |
@zmitchell:matrix.org | Under each listing you could even have a `details` tag providing different hints so users don’t have to spoil themselves looking up the full build definition in nixpkgs | 21:21:13 |

alejandrosame | Just finished writing the issue I mentioned during the last meeting -> https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/250376 . I'll start applying the new structure to the Python section starting tomorrow. If you take a look and have any feedback, I'll gladly read it! | 16:12:10 |

@mightyiam:matrix.org | Sorry. Can't make it today. See you next time. | 14:27:04 |
infinisil | Here's the next "This month in Nix docs" draft update: https://pad.lassul.us/BQletwJYRkWAVZ9HY76kGA, does this look to everyone? | 15:16:26 |
infinisil | Did we miss any highlights? | 15:17:30 |
@zmitchell:matrix.org | Since I missed July I was just going to do them both at the end of August. I think it’s premature to do August since the month isn’t over yet. | 17:28:05 |
infinisil | zmitchell: Ah right you're still here, we weren't sure in the meeting :) | 17:38:05 |
infinisil | I don't think it matters much when we do it, and if we miss a month I'd say it would be better to get it out sooner than later, it shouldn't be a problem to not have it aligned to months | 17:39:01 |
infinisil | Feel free to decide yourself though | 17:39:28 |
proofconstruction | Could always silently rename the series to "Last Month in Nix..." | 17:49:26 |
@zmitchell:matrix.org | I would prefer to just do it at the end of the month, and then try to be better about not forgetting (it’s even on my calendar to do it 🙄) | 18:13:11 |

| @adam:robins.wtf changed their display name from adamcstephens to adamcstephens (buzz). | 01:04:26 |
| chvp changed their profile picture. | 12:54:49 |
alejandrosame | In reply to @infinisil:matrix.org Did we miss any highlights? I'd consider devmode (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/243062) a highlight given that it makes working on the manuals a more pleasant task. | 16:14:08 |
alejandrosame | Also, I made a tiny update to the credits of OR | 16:25:03 |

asymmetric | what do you think about this? https://github.com/asymmetric/nixpkgs/blob/doc-support-tiers-redux/doc/stdenv/platform-support.chapter.md | 16:11:47 |
asymmetric | it's a lightweight version of my previous draft pr, trying to avoid getting to deep in the weeds of which platforms belongs to which tier, whihc was proving quixotic | 16:13:16 |
