Notes: @infinisil, @fricklerhandwerk
-
talked out about redacted Nix architecture documentation (20 min)
-
@infinisil wonders if the existence and members of the documentation team are documented
- @fricklerhandwerk keeping the docs team announcement updated while PRs against nixos.org are not merged
-
@fricklerhandwerk can the nixpkgs architecture team outline how nixpkgs is currently organized, warts included? that would help everyone not already being expert orient themselves where to contribute best
-
@infinisil better have a pull-based approach, the architecture team would be the primary source to ask if you have questions
- @fricklerhandwerk good, would be great if you could make that as visible as possible
-
@Ericson2314 we should document all the cruft that may never become stable in one place
-
@infinisil we cannot make backwards incompatible changes any more anyway, there is no such thing as unstable interfaces
- @fricklerhandwerk this is why having it documented is valuable. not just to help regular users, also because we can better see the warts and address them systematically
