Defining IPFS concepts #10

Closed Mr0grog closed 6 years ago

Mr0grog commented 6 years ago

In ipfs/docs#56, we’ve laid out a long list of IPFS-related concepts that many users might be unfamiliar with — both things that are components of IPFS, like bitswap, and things that are more general, like DAG. In this session, we’ll start with a series of strawman definitions and choose several that we are least happy with and that are most important to create better descriptions of. The results can be used to seed the concepts section of the new docs site.

If the effort to do this for IPLD is any indication, having a synchronous time to discuss and work these out could be really valuable.

This also overlaps a bit with #5, though it is a little more targeted/focused. It also requires a lot more up front work from me 😬

Would love some feedback/decision/whatever on how this intersects with “poster making” (previously #5, as noted in the original post). Is that a better approach? Is this? Should we be doing both?

flyingzumwalt commented 6 years ago

@Mr0grog the Poster Making sessions are focused on small groups going deep into a single technical topic. This session would let a larger group cut across a bunch of concepts, specifically with a documentation bent. I think we should do both.
