[Nix-dev] NixOS-Wiki alternative. Was: What license does the content of the nixos wiki and the manuals have?

[Nicolas Pierron]

I think having a wiki in git can be a big trouble for users who don't
know where to find the "edit" / "login" buttons, but I am sure that we
can make the proper template in due time to wrap an interface around
such system.

Also, I wanted to mention that Github offers an option for modifying
pages without even cloning the repository on your computer.  Which
makes this approach less painful for making contributions.

I am sure that a review process is good for the quality and
consistency of the wiki, but we should *clearly* document how people
can contribute to the wiki:
 - Open an issue for the lack of documentation
 - Use the ACE editor to edit pages online and submit pull requests
 - Clone the repository to edit and preview pages locally.

Also, I think that having an issue tracker to highlight the lack of
documentation is a really good idea.
