What are the advantages in comparison to standard pull requests with

After mulling with the topic for a while, I think that we should really try
to make that wiki working actually.
It's a great staging area for content where people can edit without asking
for permission. The issue right now is with our methodology. Maintainers
should start subscribing to the change

I once created a wiki template based on jekyll and zurb foundation[0].
It should be possible to host this with gh-pages.
As far as I can remember, this is almost ready for use, though I'm not a web-dev

should work.

Alright, let me know how I can help.
Personally I am looking forward to much more scoped discussions like how to
improve a specific page.

@Peter: haha, point taken :)
So I went on #archlinux and asked a few questions on their wiki (transcript
below). It might seem obvious but basically it works because somebody close
to the core is owning the wiki.

I often find myself on the Arch wiki and porting the content to apply to my
NixOS setup. Perhaps that would be a systematic way to start, consider it a
port. Take some of the most commonly used Arch wiki pages and make NixOS
versions. It would also establish a structure to the wiki.

In general, Wikipedia/MediaWiki works because it scales massively and

I suppose Rok is our local kill-the-wiki champion who can give you the

Sorry if I'm re-digging an old bone. Is the consensus really to kill the
wiki or is it just because it's in a bad state ? It still seems like it's
holding valuable information and can also serve as a staging area after
some cleanup.
Anyways if there is no interest, no worries, I'll just be contrib

Check this out: http://nixos-wiki-test.zimbatm.com/Main_Page/
It's a conversion to Markdown, a Jekyll template with the nixos-homepage

but have to submit a PR to introduce changes. It's a bit more work for u

read-only instead of unavailable.
