I'm in support of killing wiki and writing docs in anything except docbook.
As a side note, just want to mention that it seems to me that a lot of people go for google/duckduckgo/whatever when searching stuff, where as we have at least `man -k` and `man -K`, `info -k` (e.g. try `info -k '$!'` and then `info --index-search='$!' bash`, yep, this is not ideal, but kinda ok with an alias), `nixos-help`, and local `haddock` and `hoogle` databases. That is, I'd like * All the docs to be available and discoverable locally. /run/current-system/sw/share/doc FTW. (easy to do) * To have a thing that indexes all the man, info and haddock pages for full text search using e.g. Xapian lib. (I don't know a good tool for this, I'd like to get suggestions.) This can become a killer feature, think universal `help` command that works faster than google (local Xapian is extremely fast, as witnessed by `notmuch` and `mu`), that gives matches relevant to your system, and doesn't leak your interests for all the Internet to mine. * NixOS documentation to be available in `info` format since `info` has index support, indexes are awesome, and navigation in `info` is kind of cool too (especially compared to plain HTML). (Should be possible with docbook2x-texi) Actually, if one were to extract 240KB `info` binary from 10MB `texinfo` package it would, in my view, become be preferable to 1.4MB `w3m` binary from 3.6MB `w3m` package currently used to display the manual in installation images. Just saying. Cheers, Jan _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
