Description
Moving tutorials out of the reference manuals requires relicensing them from nixpkgs' MIT to this repo's CC-BY-SA.
This needs agreement by all authors of the materials in question.
Here are collections of articles we may want to extract and add to nix.dev:
- https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/7769
- Nixpkgs manual? (TODO)
- NixOS manual? (TODO)
- guide/checklist for finding authors
Here is a list of similar efforts in the past:
