| 2022-08-04 | reword introduction to rosetta stone, add links | Valentin Gagarin | |
| attempt to explain used and documented terminology, as well as how the declarative programming paradigm relates to building software. in the future one could highlight encouraged terms to shape future material into higher consistency. | |||

| 2022-08-04 | design -> architecture, add motivation | Valentin Gagarin | |
| following ideas found in Architecture of Gazelle[1] [1]: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-gazelle/blob/56d35f8db086bb65ef876f96f7baa7b71516daf8/Design.rst | |||
| 2022-08-04 | address Nix language consistently as configuration language | Valentin Gagarin | |
| 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 | only use generic build system terminology | Valentin Gagarin | |
| we will use a translation table to introduce nix-specific terms | |||
| 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. | |||
