Thank you for this. It’s good to know there are teams working on an update. There is so much going on in this ecosystem that it is difficult to keep track of all of the ongoing projects.
I made a similar forum post a couple months ago about outdated introductory learning material, and didn’t receive any feedback - perhaps I didn’t address the issue properly, or it was posted in the wrong category.
I love the idea of a thorough update, and the DF Futures Proposal you linked indicates Papermoon has some good ideas about how to move forward. Has there been any update on their progress?
BUT, good things take time. Right now we find ourselves in a place where we have spent millions of dollars/DOT on marketing in an effort to get people to take a look at Polkadot. Having incorrect front-facing material up for as long as it has been is a bad look, and as a “dev-first” ecosystem that markets its framework as easy-to-use, it is ironic that THIS front-facing documentation is incorrect. This is a small, easy-to-overlook detail that I believe can have massive implications.
There are currently pull requests on the Substrate Docs that address the issue, and could easily serve as a temporary solution. How do we make that happen?
