@fricklerhandwerk: The UX team lead of Modus Create (Tweag’s new mother company) proposed to run a workshop at the ZHF hackathon in Zürich to help maintainers improve Nix
- Would like to have as many Nix team members, and also Nixpkgs and NixOS maintainers as possible to participate
- Goal: learn something together and foster a coherent vision and mind set
- Will make a more concrete outline next week
-
Agenda discussion
- We should keep working at the vision
- Should we also work on discussing more concrete points in parallel?
- We want to work on some stuff like reworking the test infrastructure no matter what
Agenda
- 30mins on the vision draft
- 30mins on issues and pull requests
Notes
- discussed #7156 Create a vision for Nix (15 min)
- no decision on a snappy description of the target audience
- @thufschmitt: process? Nix UX team was not very effective at discussing issues
- discussed #7229 Auto-assign reviewers by file
- decision: merge
- discussed #7099 Remove repeat option
- decision: the change is good.
- change requests: make it throw an error message, update release notes
-
@fricklerhandwerk: questions to determine agenda for next time:
- how do we pick PRs for discussion?
- e.g. why don’t we start from the oldest ones?
- how do we determine what’s the most valuable contribution to unblock?
- we will get stuck deciding on things, and I think we need a sufficiently fleshed out vision to get unstuck
- shall we review more PRs until we get stuck and then refine the vision until we get stuck there?
- how do we pick PRs for discussion?
