| 2022-08-04 | remove separate meta-section, add architecture diagram | Valentin Gagarin | |
| the diagram is a first approximation and only covers that same section. of course there is much more going on, and other features should at some point also be illustrated. we also have to think about presentation format and technicalities behind it. the manual has to render to `man`, but we may want something more refined for web view. | |||
| 2022-08-04 | reword introductory section | Valentin Gagarin | |
| there should be a meta section for each chapter to give motivation of the presented structure. the structure itself is visible from the table of contents. | |||
| 2022-08-04 | remove sentence for chapter transition | Valentin Gagarin | |
| idea: sections could be read in different orders by linking them in different ways (e.g. depth-first or breadth-first). adding hard-coded transitions makes that confusing. | |||

| 2022-08-04 | reword overview with clear terminology | Valentin Gagarin | |
| trying to capture alternative terms in one go here, mirroring everyday use: derivation - build plan realise - execute build there will be more of that sort. | |||
| 2022-08-04 | Add draft "Rosetta stone" by @fricklerhandwerk and stub commentary | John Ericson | |
| The idea and most of the execution are @fricklerhandwerk's. I changed a few things best I could based on @edolstra's corrections, and a Bazel glossary. Valentin Gagarin <valentin@fricklerhandwerk.de> | |||

| 2022-08-04 | WIP: Document the design of Nix | John Ericson | |
| The current docs are all "how to do things" and no "what is Nix" or "why are things the way they are". I see lots of misconception on the wider internet, and I also think we would benefit from a "living document" to answer some questions people currently turn to the thesis for. I think a new section of the manual can address all these issues. | |||
| 2022-08-04 | manual: remove "Writing Nix Expressions" chapter | Valentin Gagarin | |
| it is out of date, all over the place in level of detail, is really about `nixpkgs`, and in general instructions should not be part of a reference manual. also: - update redirects and internal links - use "Nix language" consistently | |||

| 2022-06-30 | doc: acknowledge post-rsync reality | Travis A. Everett | |
| Before #5150 the copy-to-store phase of the install was idempotent, but the recursive cp isn't. This is probably baiting a few people into trying corrective installs that will fail. | |||
