I would like to help with documentation. I have put some time into learning Nix and NixOS but would still consider myself a beginner-level learner. Helping with documentation is a recommended starting contribution, and also seems like an efficient way to take excellent notes as I go that can also benefit others.

But also, I really like diagramming things, and I've noticed there is a shortage of visual documentation components. I am looking for some guidance on what might be some good things to diagram that people have noticed or thought of. I'm thinking:

  • Organizational graphs (maybe something about store layout)
  • Mnemonic devices ( Venn-diagrams pertaining to use-cases of flakes vs modules, or something like that )
  • Really, my goal is abundant and diverse visual learning aids. Doesn't have to stop at visual media even.
