I'd say the summary of discussions like this belongs on a wiki :) I'd keep as is unless there are strong reasons to switch. Marc Weber ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev

Re: [Nix-dev] Restructuring of the Wiki

I've not heard that we have a "specially designated team of wiki maintainers". If we want to use user permissions as an indicator of responsibility, we have 3 wiki admins: Chexxor, Goibhniu, and EelcoDolstra: On Mon, May 19, 2014 at 12:45 PM, Kirill Elagin wrote: > On Mon, May 19, 2014 at 7:13

Re: [Nix-dev] Restructuring of the Wiki

Thanks for the link to past discussion on this topic, Cillian. That was a good discussion. Also, thank you, Third3ye, for contributing to the wiki effort and raising Nix wiki awareness. ### On the Nix Wiki A wiki is a low-barrier way to build a database of eventually consistent and correct info.

Re: [Nix-dev] Restructuring of the Wiki

About documentation itself, I find the format of famous "FreeBSD Handbook" ( http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/) very appealing. It can be used as a guide to our wiki or even a book on its own. Also, a thing I miss in the wiki is a 'hacking guide' inside Nixpkgs and Nix programming in general. I

Re: [Nix-dev] Restructuring of the Wiki

FTR just so that people don't get confused: GitHub's wiki is Gollum which I mentioned. Maybe it would be more handy to open an issue in nixpkgs for discussing wiki engines? -- Кирилл Елагин On Mon, May 19, 2014 at 12:24 PM, Marc Weber wrote: > Just a very small comment: > Different wiki syst

Re: [Nix-dev] Restructuring of the Wiki

Just a very small comment: Different wiki systems have been proposed earlier (when we ha da spam problem). Two were important (to me): 1) http://vim-wiki.mawercer.de/wiki/index.html (based on git), no login required (I haven't had any spam yet) - and if it happens it would be trivial to add no

Small note first: s/Markdown/PandocMarkdown/ (and this `s/.../.../` thing has to do with `sed`, in case you wonder). I guess many of the NixOS people live in the Haskell world, and `pandoc` is the tool of choice there. The good news is that it suppo

Hey there! I'm Third3ye and you've probably seen me troll the #NixOS channel like a pro. If you don't want to read this rather large e-mail about the wiki, how about answering a few questions? 1. *Do you edit or add to the Wiki? If so how frequently?* 2. *Would you like to see the Wiki expand
