Install docusaurus using typescript:

npx create-docusaurus@latest docu-dev classic --typescript

As described here: https://github.com/massalabs/docu-dev/pull/29/files#diff-3fe3b59d1988fd4cfbc13f04b79a9c3912f38fc45117af60d1c8ea9143b4cabb

This includes:

create the subdirectory if needed
update the sidebar and the docusaurus config

1. Review info from here, update the content if needed, and add it to the subsection in 'autonomous-sc file'.

2. Create a diagram like in Operation lifecycle, that follows all mentioned info in the text.

Blocked until we have a v1 (see check list).

Create a new section explaining how to deploy a smart contract on massa.

This include:

• a description of our two different nets: TestNet and BuilderNet
• deployment using:
  • sc-project-initializer
  • web3
  • Thyra
• interaction with a deployed SC using:
  • todo in https://github.com/massalabs/massa-sc-toolkit
  • web3
  • Thyra

Create a quick start section that will propose a Hello world DApp:

• with a smart contract
  • exporting a greetings function that can be called with or without a name
  • recognizing its creator (show case the constructor function)
  • including unit tests
• with a front
  • using wallet-provider
  • massa-web3
• using Thyra as wallet provider

The idea is to have a step by step guide as well as an already working git repo.

You get get inspiration from https://docs.near.org/develop/quickstart-guide

Create a new section explaining how to test on massa.

This include:

• unit tests with or without test table
• integration testing (with the simulator)
• running on a sandbox node

We should chose a colour palette here: https://github.com/massalabs/docu-dev/blob/main/src/css/custom.css

Implement the build API section introduced in #34

It's probably worth linking the video somewhere as it's probably the most accurate/complete and up to date video tutorial we have.

The context:

We took the current Massa docs section Architecture -> Introduction, and turned it into a new page which explains basic concepts of Massa blockchain.
The objective of the task is to create additional content, so that readers get a concise, not-too-techy introduction to Massa's main terminology.
Below I wrote suggestion on how to improve each sub-section.

The content structure can be found in this PR #34.

Sub-tasks (per sub-section in docs)

I suggest just linking small PRs for each or each few sections.

**1. Basic concepts → Ledger: -> DONE
To add:

• a few sentences about ledger size limitations, and reasoning why we limit the size of Ledger.

2. Basic concepts → Address: -> DONE
To add:

• Explain functionality of an address, simply, what it can do functionally.
• Define the length of the address object in symbols;
• Explain briefly how are addresses encrypted;
• Explain prefixes in address naming;

3. Basic concepts → Smart Contract:
To add:

• describe versioning of the SC
• update the encryption paragraph as it will change with the testnet 24
• Explain how SCs are different from addresses in terms of functionality (what permissions smart contracts have in terms of ledger read/write access, based on their address)
• Why are they used - mention main use cases.

4. Basic concepts → Autonomous Smart Contract
To add:

• description of the functionality of autonomous smart contracts on Massa
• mention a few practical use-cases that would describe the value ASC brings
  to people familiar with workings of Smart contracts. -> DONE

5. Basic concepts → Storage cost section: -> DONE
To add:

• describe how due to limited ledger space we introduce the storage cost
  concept.
• describe who pays for the storage of smart contracts and how;
• should be linked to the content in 3 sections above (Ledger, Address, SC)

6. Basic concepts → Operations section:
To add:

• Describe what an operation is in a simple way.
• Draw link to 'transactions' as called on other blockchains, so that the first time readers can understand it.
• Mention the length of the Op hash on Massa blockchain. -> DONE

7. Basic concepts → Smart Contract → Execute SC operation:
To add:

• A well described functionality of Execute SC, with a few key examples (~4-5 sentences).
• Mention how Execute SC can be used to perform ledger changes without a need of deploying an SC. This is a unique Massa feature with a lot of usecases that can be mentioned and highlighted as a killer feature. -> DONE
• Connect the content to the table of payload.

8. Basic concepts → Smart Contract → Call SC operation:
To add:

• A well described functionality of Call SC, with a few key examples. (~4-5 sentences)
• Connect the content to the table of payload.

9. Basic concepts → Smart Contract operations -> Tip (:::tip :::)
to add:

• Give simple examples on when to use Execute and when Call SC.
• Redirect to 'tutorials' section if we have any for these Operations

10. Basic concepts → Transaction fee
To add:

• describe the concept of transaction fees at Massa and how the likelihood of Op being added to the block depends on it.
• Introduce gas and gas limit
• briefly introduce how transaction fees relate to gas and gas limit.
• describe how transaction fees serve as rewards to Block creators/stakers.

11. Basic concepts → Block
To add:

• Maximum block size -> DONE
• Explain briefly final and stale blocks and redirect to learn [more](todo redirect to node-architecture.md -> Finalized blocks, stale blocks).

Even if not perfect this doc will soon be better than the one that is available right now. To be ready to switch we need to do the following:

General:

• Remove TODO and create corresponding issues
• Remove links to dead pages (tutorial for instance)
• Finish Home pages of every sections:
  • #83

Build Section:

• #38
• #40
• Reference buildnet (network page)

Tutorial section:

• #75
• #46

Once everything else is done:

• #65

That's what I see for now. Maybe I'm missing things. Feel free to complete. There might be things overlapping with existing issues (feel free to link them here).

Let's target to have a first release ready version for the end of June and improve from there!

As described here: https://github.com/massalabs/docu-dev/pull/29/files#diff-630a17ee06e91c64b8a0996df047c00ff37bfb16728f9be2f15dcf34c37c8e32

This includes:

• create the subdirectory if needed
• update the sidebar and the docusaurus config

Should include:

• Introduction - #4
• Developing - #8
• Testing - #10
• Debugging
• Deploying - #11
• Best Practices/FAQ ?
• Security ?

See #90 (comment)

Fill the SDK page in the Build section.

The context
This PR #34 adds the Operation lifecycle sectio (operation-lifecycle.mdx file) which is a copy/paste from the current page in docs.

The objective of the task is to:

1. improve the section content and diagram by introducing Transaction fees and concepts of Gas and/or Gas limit to it.
2. If needed improve the content and diagram if the current schema is out of date.

Massa coins official symbol will be XMA.
Currently in documentation where we are referring to values of Massacoin, we use Massa or MAS, all need to be changed to XMA.

To do in all files in docu-dev repo

As described here: https://github.com/massalabs/docu-dev/pull/29/files#diff-cdf71e5d0cc630466deb272dc176476bc993356cda9c3f0e3fb7bf3293d4fc7e

This includes:

create the subdirectory if needed

The context:

Current Massa docs section Architecture included the lengthy description of Endorsement mechanism, which don't fit the purpose of the Learn segment where will be located in the new Documentation we're making.

The objective of this task is to write the content of this new section 'Consensus quality initiatives'.It will provide the list of mechanisms Massa’s consensus has in place that make it optimal/better/more efficient.

The listed mechanisms in the Massa docs I found are:

• Endorsements (requires rewriting some sections, described below)
• Slashing (needs full write up)
• Node banning (needs full write up)
• add others if any.

The content structure can be found in this PR #34 - consensus-quality.mdx file.

Sub-tasks (per sub-section in docs):

1. 1-2 Intro paragraph:
To add:

• create an introduction of why such mechanisms exists in Massa blockchain, how they optimize PoS and why we opted for these specific solutions.
• mention if there are any future plans to add more mechanisms

2. Endorsements - improvements:
Currently under review in PR #34. I summarized some parts.
To do:

• improve 'Technical decisions' section.
  Details:
  a) suggestion is to rename the current section Choosing the value of E and include all technical aspects mentioned there: Finality fork attacks, Security level, but shorter. The purpose is to explain the mechanisms and convice readers our Consensus is better because of it.
  b) suggestion: remove the simulation results section and display a sentence about the simulation results and a
  reference to the technical paper
  c) suggestion: remove 'Future features' subsection from this learning segment.

3. Slashing - full write up:
To add:

• This mechanism should be described in full in the same way and structure the Endorsement;
• Introduce the reasons for slashing in our PoS.
• How it works - functionality (can be broken into subsections like Endorsements are)
• Incentives and penalties sub-section - which describes how exactly we penalize stakers.

4. Node banning - full write up:
To add:

• This mechanism should be described in full in the same way and structure the Endorsement;
• Introduce the reasons for node banning in PoS, and situations when it occurs.
• How it works
• Incentives and penalties sub-section - which describes how exactly we ban nodes and what it means for the node runners.

The learn section could benefit from a short introduction that highlights the main selling points of Massa without going into the details. Right now it's a bit complicated for the general public.
