 Gytis Ivaskevicius | Hi all, Summer Of Nix is starting soon and this involves us working on documentation and writing "deployment stories" (blogposts about particular packages). So I was wondering if there is some ares in particular that you guys would like us document better | 10:03:12 |
 Sandro 🐧 | I would throw the nix man page in the room | 17:16:01 |

Hi all, Summer Of Nix is starting soon and this involves us working on documentation and writing "deployment stories" (blogposts about particular packages). So I was wondering if there is some ares in particular that you guys would like us document better I would say Docker could get some more docs :3 | 11:21:34 |

 pennae | is this the right place to solicit help for the options docbook to md conversion? | 08:36:06 |
 Winter (she/her) | i'd say so | 15:27:15 |
| pennae | if anyone is interested, here's a stab at another piece of "how do we do X now". if a good solution for this conversion problem can be found we've covered most of what happens in the docs today | 15:49:18 |

 Robert Hensing (roberth) | package search has completely wrong documentation for NixOS services https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-search/issues/506 | 09:53:04 |
| fufexan | I'd be happy to help with this! | 10:48:35 |
| Sandro 🐧 | Why is that issue in nixos-search? That just consumes the metadata. | 13:32:15 |
 Linux Hackerman | because nixos-search is what suggests nix-env -iA nixos.docker | 13:33:03 |
| Sandro 🐧 | at least the meta data changes don't really go well into nixos-search repo | 13:54:02 |
| Sandro 🐧 | also that advice is completely wrong in general and we should just remove it | 13:54:22 |
 dramforever | Agreed. One of the things that might be confusing is that 'install' doesn't mean the same thing as what you'd expect from other package managers, so that's nice to address. | 15:12:50 |

| pennae | should we introduce a couple more inline roles for option docs constructs that don't have exact equivalents in markdown yet? <package> and <code> are the most common tags that we can currently only translate as normal code blocks (which turn into <literal>), but distinguishing those three things seems not entirely useful | 19:14:23 |
 Jan Tojnar | I do not think there is much distinction between literal and code | 20:14:48 |
| Jan Tojnar | or rather, the markdown backticks semantically represent inline code, if anything | 20:15:31 |
