This working group is there to investigate the possibility of using something like the NixOS module system for Nixpkgs packages. See the discourse post for more info.
All working group members have access to this repository. The end goal is to have an RFC developed that can be proposed. Using issues and pull requests to achieve that is encouraged.
We meet weekly, every Friday at 13:00 UTC in this Jitsi.
Notes are written live in this pad during meetings, and committed to the ./meetings folder afterwards. Occasional presentations are streamed and recorded to this YouTube playlist on the Nixpkgs Architecture Team channel.
