Topic: Standards for white papers:

Typical issues faced when developing (5) Whitepaper for the hyperledger projects (including the HYPERLEDGER WHITEPAPER:

  • Tendency to Leave out Scope, focus on Who the Whitepaper is for, Why it is necessary and What it is not. Our Working Group will create a STANDARD TEMPLATE for Whitepaper with a basic outline on G-Docs ( Gordon will crate and share).
  • The groups goal will be to fill out the template with suggestions for the writer of what should and should not be included in the standard sections of a white paper. 
  • Overall Design
  • Standard Front matter:     - Title, Table of Content, About, Version #, Publication Date, Acknowledgements
  • Standard Back Matter : Conclusion, Appendix, Resources, References
  • MIDDLE Fill in Gap, With What?  Hierarchy Intro / Overview, Start with High level overview then grind down to the details. The defaults to build from Familiar to unfamiliar, Compare and Contrast, Chronologically, A list should be alphabetical unless reorder for a reason which should be stated.
