One big issue with the NixOS wiki is that the maintainer of the web server is unresponsive for a long time [0]. Therefore, the wiki software is really out of date and using the page editor is a real pain in the butt [1].

I tried to write more for the wiki while learning things about NixOS. But it's so annoying to make changes that I eventually gave up.

I really like NixOS and Nix in general, it just lacks a central and organized, community maintained documentation like the Arch wiki. So, I hope either the maintainer will eventually become available again (unlikely IMO) and update the server, or we could mirror the current wiki on a new server.
