I'm glad this is happening. I was hoping that maybe the Nix/NixOS developers could have a dedicated documentation maintainer or two to make deeper learning about each system more accessible. Although I can make my way around NixOS, I feel that's only possible because I could look over the obscure parts of the configs of people more obsessed with Nix than me.
The old development style mentioned reminds me of that excessively mentioned essay about Lisp hackers keeping to themselves. I wonder if there's something intrinsic to certain developer-oriented projects like these that lead people to tinker with them on their own for long periods of time.
