Description
We recently discussed better coordinating ongoing efforts on unifying documentation and noted a few projects that aspire to write a "Nix Book".
Let's make a living document tracking those projects, their goals and progress, in order to keep overview and better integrate those efforts. Initial overview in the meeting notes
Resources:
- The Nix Book (which led to founding the documentation team)
- Drake Rossman's NixOS Book
- Gabriella Gonzalez' NixOS Book
