Developer-Experience-Working-Group

Welcome to the Cardano Developer Experience Working Group.

What does the developer experience working group do?

We're a community-driven group dedicated to identifying and presenting potential solutions to developer experience problems that span the Cardano ecosystem. Once a potential solution is identified, we work with actors in the ecosystem to find sponsorship to implement a solution.

We meet every Tuesday at 3:30PM/15h30m UTC.

We also use Github for discussions and the IOHK Developer Discord.

What kind of issues fall under developer experience?

• Key barriers to adopting or being productive when developing against Cardano, as either offchain statistics or onchain dApp
• Missing/Inadequate tooling or key workflow issues when composing tools to build an end-to-end dApp
• Documentation
• multi-language/multi-ecosystem tie-in (What are the added problems when building on Mobile, embedded systems, Unity/C#, Python or javascript ecosystems)
• Best practices and default dApp architectures.

How can I get involved?

How do we use this github repository?

This repository houses the Charter, which defines how the group operates and makes decisions. We also have the minutes folder which houses text records of each Tuesday meeting, arranged by date.

Most discussion topics will take the form of Github issues and pull requests. Issues describe a given problem facing the Cardano developer ecosystem, or a desired change to how the group is run. PR's propose solutions, identify individuals or organizations which can and will execute the solution. Once a solution has a clear path to execution, the proposal will be merged to the main branch of the repository.

All merges require at least 1 review, merge rights are handled by the co-chairs.
