Thank you for your input @radha and @bader
Agree, this is a good topic to include. For our audience (i.e. Ethereum native and Ethereum L2 centric folk), what should be the learning objectives for this topic in your opinion? I think two pieces could come out of this topic: one would for people who already have some experience with Polkadot, who have already launched their chain on Rococo for e.g. or tinkered with Substrate and want to learn about common pitfalls in maintaining a chain, upgrading / migrating storage, preparing nodes for relay chain runtime upgrades etc. Already a little advanced. The other would be solely about launching a chain: configuring your runtime, preparing your chainspec, connecting to Rococo, etc. Something that can be super exciting for newbies to Polkadot and doesn’t require too much background knowledge. I think this type of content would be a wonderful extension of what the Tanssi team are doing. Portico soon, too .
[cant-find-appropriate-emoji-to-share-my-excitement-for-this] Yes! What I maybe haven’t communicated very clearly here is that one of my objectives is to start curating a content bank of core talk and workshop outlines with clear learning objectives that can be used as guidelines/checklists for speakers, peer-reviewed by experts on the topic.
Indeed. The separation I make here is: core content is for understanding Polkadot as a metaprotocol, tech stack and key features. Everything else falls in the category of building on Polkadot’s application layer, opening the door for parachain teams to shine light on their SDKs / frameworks etc.
