Back to collectionDocumentation Gives Developers a Starting Point
The testnet had drawn integration ideas from external teams, but developers needed instructions they could actually follow beyond a proposal. The full testnet developer documentation went live, complete with sample code. Integration discussions had previously stalled at what someone wanted to deploy; developers now had a concrete place to start reading and trying things.

The testnet had drawn integration ideas from external teams, but developers needed instructions they could actually follow beyond a proposal. A-Zhen had been handling chain-side issues. Today she was more concerned with whether newcomers could find their first step in the documentation instead of repeatedly asking the group where to begin.
The full testnet developer documentation went live, complete with sample code. Reading through it, A-Zhen identified the steps most likely to stop a first-time integrator. She planned to follow the documentation herself, in order, and report unclear passages to its maintainers. The external team's multisignature wallet proposal now had material to consult, though it remained a proposal.
Integration discussions had previously stalled at what someone wanted to deploy; developers now had a concrete place to start reading and trying things. A-Zhen's next step was to see whether the examples answered newcomers' practical questions. Publishing the documentation solved the problem of finding instructions, while obstacles in actual integration would still have to be found one by one.
