Remaining Sections

[Greg Sanders]

Can we get a quick consensus on what is left from major section that are missing?

I see:

P2P Network

Blocks broadcasting

Transactions broadcasting

Alerts

If you guys are busy working on other stuff, I can take a whack at those.

What else is missing?

Yeah, that's the last remaining major section.

I want to write a short (less than 500 words) introduction which
mentions things we haven't otherwise defined such as:

* bitcoind/bitcoin-qt/bitcoin-cli
* testnet/mainnet
* Where to get help: forum, IRC
* How to tell us there's something wrong/missing with the docs

I'm all for you taking the P2P section. I have some editing I want to do
on the transaction sections which were moved out of order so they flow
correctly again.

Thanks!,

Greg / David - That all sounds good!

It's currently a separate page, but the API Reference page was also part of the TODO list in case someone is interested:

http://bitcoindev.us.to/en/api-reference

[David A. Harding]

Oh yeah, that and we also have a TODO for the Generating Transactions
subsection.

I'm sure there will always be more documentation to write, but I think
we might soon need a list of things we want get done for the initial
bitcoin.org pull request.

Does anyone know if GitHub has some sort of todo list feature or
something else for a list of stuff too small to warrant separate issues?

Fully agree.

AFAIK, GitHub Wiki can be used for that. Just made an initial TODO page:
https://github.com/saivann/bitcoin.org/wiki/TODO

(That's basically yet another git repository only serving markdown files displayed on GitHub for the current project, with easy online editing features)

Nice! I added a couple items plus a simple prioritization prefix list.

Thanks,

Yes—take a look at https://github.com/blog/1375-task-lists-in-gfm-issues-pulls-comments.

Thanks! I moved the todo list into an issue using that syntax:

https://github.com/saivann/bitcoin.org/issues/57

That's nice, thanks!

* testnet/mainnet

regtest mode should be prominently mentioned and explained, as it's the easiest way to develop apps by far.

Already done: https://github.com/saivann/bitcoin.org/pull/65

(Although I guess I'll rephrase that a bit to make it more prominent.)
