Hey Ethereum neighborhood! We final spoke August 5 – the way you been? We’re right here to speak about one thing recent we have shipped.
Perhaps you have already seen, however we have got a new Developers section.

And maybe extra importantly, we needed it to be a spot for neighborhood collaboration. Anybody can submit PRs to enhance and preserve the content material. We have already seen a unbelievable willingness from the neighborhood 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 unbelievable translators to assist educate on a worldwide scale.
We on the ethereum.org staff haven’t got all of the solutions however as a neighborhood we’re superb at sharing knowledge. Now, you have bought the place to do it.
How one can get entangled
