Description

There's currently two official domains for the Nix platform:

It's not great to have two domains because the default assumption is that different domains are different entities, so people don't expect both to be official.

My proposal to resolve this is by moving nix.dev to docs.nixos.org.

Since this only really involves the documentation team and is not that substantial of a change, we should be able to proceed with this plan by reaching consensus among the members, without the need for an RFC. Of course anybody is welcome to step in with arguments for/against this.
