## AI overview

It also invites non-monetary support through community channels and meetings.

## Source excerpt

tl;dr: There is a renewed effort to improve documentation, head to Documentation team - Open Collective or contact foundation@nixos.org to chip in with funding! With the 2023 crowd-funding in documentation funding, we've seen some improvements, but a lot more is needed to make significant progress towards improving the overall experience with Nix documentation, including onboarding and discovery. Especially newcomers frequently struggle with our documentation, get frustrated and notice gaps, and have a hard time adopting Nix. In addition, in the Nix community survey 2025 we see that most people want excess funding to be allocated to improving documentation. While the NixOS Foundation doesn't have that much excess funding, @hsjobeki has stepped up to pick up leadership of the documentation team with support by @friedow. While they're volunteering their own time to lead the team, they'd like to have access to funding for not just ensuring that stuff gets done, but also maintained over time. They've collaborated to agree on a documentation vision (initial announcement) to work towards. For that reason, we're asking individuals and companies to donate to the renewed documentation team OpenCollective, so that we can reach the funding goals (more details on OpenCollective): (1.000 EUR /month) Paid documentation maintainer (4.000 EUR ) Framework evaluation (15.000 EUR ) Prepare docs.nixos.org cutover (8.000 EUR ) Continuous deployment & Reduce feedback times (8.000 EUR ) Navigation & redirects If a company is interested in providing a significant amount of funding and would like a contract and invoice, please reach out to foundation@nixos.org. Furthermore, if you'd like to support documentation in non-monetary ways, feel free to join the Matrix channel and/or bi-weekly meetings (see "Nix documentation meeting" in the NixOS Calendar), or see where you can help from updates in the discourse category. -- NixOS Foundation board 8 posts - 5 participants Read full topic
