Documentation project proposal for Google Season of Docs 2023 - #3 by fricklerhandwerk
No feedback, but could be because we have no objective metrics and estimate over budget limits (despite clear options to close funding gaps)
There’s no cheap way to measure learning success
we could apply for other sources of funding:
NixOS Foundation
OpenColletive
individuals and corporate sponsors
would need more effort for outreach
NLnet
may be on topic because it’s at the intersection of sustainability/reliability of technology and also education
combination of the above
issue status and topic are independent pieces of information
@fricklerhandwerk added a separate field for topic
crowd-source task for GitHub team members: pick items which have a no:topic status, and set their actual topic field to that, then set the status to To Discuss
afterwards @fricklerhandwerk will remove the Topic: states
finished during the meeting
@j-k : questions on Nixpkgs manual
shall we add a note to every section to check other materials for generic topics?
@fricklerhandwerk : not yet, this can be done at the template level if we split the manual into pages
how to go about changes generally?
the Go part is much better, looks more like reference. should all parameters be documented?
how should parameters be ordered? by relevance or alphabetically seems resonable
@infinisil Should be autogenerated in the end, but might be good to mention in the beginning which ones are most important
@fricklerhandwerk : Should avoid double book-keeping, let’s use alphabetical ordering. Should include examples.
“Using community Rust overlays” section
@infinisil : Feels like this should be in third-party docs, only have quick links to them
@fricklerhandwerk : Feels like something for the wiki. Easy to get out-of-date; trade-offs to consider
@j-k : Only quick mention that you can use alternate Rust versions, link to third-party projects for examples
@infinisil : let’s write down what it takes to be a manual maintainer
