I mean, you don't really need a fork for that. Anyone who's motivated to actually improve the situation here, can just write appropriate documentation.

I guess, a fork would give you a new name, and therefore a clean slate where there's not loads of contradicting information already out there. But yeah, that's also a lot of work...

Well, I'm not in Microslop platforms, so that's going to be difficult.

Second, the way things work in the current nix/nixos community make it easy to create a PR but very difficult to get it merged. Attempts at writing documentation are nitpicked to death, unless you belong to the privileged class of the documentation team or have merge rights on Microslop's Github.

A fork would also give an attempt at forming a new community with different rules and focus.
