Hey Ethereum group! We final spoke August 5 – the way you been? We’re right here to speak about one thing contemporary we have shipped.
Perhaps you have already seen, however we have got a new Developers section. For a very long time, this content material was a wall of hyperlinks to merchandise you may discover useful when constructing a dapp. We supplied little or no context and left numerous connecting the dots as much as you.

- Perceive the tech stack of dapps
And maybe extra importantly, we needed it to be a spot for group collaboration. Anybody can submit PRs to enhance and keep the content material. We have already seen a incredible willingness from the group to dive in and assist us enhance the docs which is superior.
In different phrases, we needed to create MDN for Ethereum. And use our pool of incredible translators to assist educate on a worldwide scale.
We on the ethereum.org group do not have all of the solutions however as a group we’re superb at sharing knowledge. Now, you have received the place to do it.
How one can become involved
