1. Introduction - Start Here

If you want to find out more about SAFE Network or start contributing, we want to be your guide. For specific topics look at the table on contents on the right. Otherwise pick a subsection based on the desired level of depth you are looking for.

<= Back to FRONT

The SAFE Network forum also has a start here page which you may want to have a look at.

Wherever you read MDSF, expand it to Maidsafe in your mind, and SFNW to SAFE Network. Feel free to edit the wiki.

1.1 Basic Level

Getting up to speed

(a document called SafeNetForDummies is available on Google docs but I lost the link to it)

Contribution ideas

(Marketing, improving documentation, and performing testing?)

1.2 Intermediate Level

Getting up to speed

  • A write-up of September 2017 can be found here.
  • The Documentation topic of September 2017 summarizes many concepts here.

Reading this wiki may one day provide an accurate technical introduction but we are only at the beginning. If you are in the process of trying to go beyond the basic level feel free to share your notes on this wiki.

Contribution ideas

(Testing and validation of code and concepts)

  • Become an ambassador in your region! discussion and pointers. Recognition on the SafeNetwork forum for your work may earn you an official SAFE Ambassador title. See Appendix section People for a list of SAFE Ambassadors.
  • Develop a DAPP prototype. A strong DAPP and developer ecosystem will be important for adoption and through adoption for stronger security.

1.3 Expert Level

Getting up to speed

  • Read all papers and patents (Appendix E)
  • Read all RFCs
  • Read all Documentation and Code
RFCs

MaidSafe requests input through a public RFC (Request For Comment) process. RFCs are accessible here on GitHub.

The list of RFCs by status can be found in that repository here.

MAIDSafe has internal “pre-RFC” documents on certain topics, which means that the published RFCs provide an incomplete picture of the status of technology development.

Rust Core Libraries Documentation
SAFE Web App
API Documentation

Contribution Ideas

MaidSafe has an RFC process and discussion takes place on the MAID Safe Forum. (Summaries of the issues and resolutions could be added here for each.)

Unsolved questions (still?)
