Project infrastructure
Documentation tooling: Making use of Docusaurus and Vercel instead of GH pages
Reducing noise on Discord: Thoughts on replacing the general Besu channel with “besu-questions-mainnet” and “besu-questions-permissioned” so that maintainers focused on mainnet don’t get questions about permissioned Besu and vice versa
Community calls and getting the recordings on YouTube: Confirming about recent calendar changes with the LFDT migration and discussing how recordings get posted to YouTube
Future plans for developer docs in this wiki.
We’re not adamant about any particular solution but we do want to preserve our existing content in the same place that new content goes.
