Description

It seems now we have an official whitepaper whose content is mostly mirrored from the wiki pages. May I suggest that we separate the responsibilities of the two to avoid the need to keep both in sync?

I propose the following split:

  • Whitepaper for official protocol specification in RFC-style.
  • Wiki pages for guides, tutorials, and other helpful content.

Additionally, we need to come up with a better strategy to generate the content of the official website. It's less than optimal right now due to case-sensitivity of file paths. (Maybe this needs another issue to discuss?)

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Compare whitepaper/whitepaper.md with the referenced wiki pages to identify duplicated responsibilities. Review how the official website currently generates content and where case-sensitive file paths affect it. Done means an agreed separation between RFC-style protocol documentation and wiki guides, plus a documented website-generation strategy.
