Details
Steemdocs is a project that aims to build the equivalent of MDN for the Steem blockchain. One task that is important as a basis for the whole website is a glossary of terms. Those terms will then be used throughout the website in tutorials, documentation, references, etc.
Steemdocs is fully open-sourced and powered by @utopian-io.
Glossary
We are trying to explain in as few words as possible the terms that are commonly used when developing on the network. If you want to contribute to the glossary, read the Glossary Contribution Guidelines. We will be happy to consider your pull requests!
The Glossary Bundle #5 terms are:
- RockDB
- Reverse Auction
- Power Up
- Power Down
- Mana
- Hardfork
With every new bundle, we sometimes have to go back and update links in the other terms so that a user can an easy to navigate from one term to another.
We believe that even at this level, a simple glossary of terms is something that has been sorely missing in the Steem ecosystem. For a brand new dev, the process of learning how to develop on the Steem blockchain can be frustrating with the resources currently available.
The goal of SteemDocs is to have a one-stop shop for all Steem developers needs.
Our criteria for using Utopian for this pull request on the document is "would these articles, taken as a whole, provide enough value to developers in a way that would impact their work, and would otherwise not be possible with what's currently available out there?"
We've scoured the internet for such a thing and we haven't found what we are looking for, this glossary is the first of its type. This content is targeted for developers primarily.
We had to parse through the whitepaper and the bluepaper as well as multiple articles in order to compile that content in a way that is easy to understand.
