the Wiki

The community NixOS Wiki's core articles are divided into five article categories: discussions, for encyclopedic description, guides, for showing the user how to do stuff, tutorials intended to teach, cookbooks collecting a bag of tips and trips and reference material for the nitty gritty details. They are also divided by the six most prominent components of the Nix Ecosystem: NixOS, Nix, the Nix Language, Nixpkgs, NixOps and Hydra. The core article's of the Wiki correspond to one component and one category:

NixOS Wiki Resources
Category	NixOS	Nix	Nix Language	Nixpkgs	NixOps	Hydra
Discussion	NixOS	Nix	Nix Language	Nixpkgs	NixOps	Hydra

The goal is to eventually have strong articles for every entry of this table, but initial efforts will target the first row and first column.
