Thanks for kicking this off!

Hi @pgte, @jimpick: Can I add the tutorials, or is the ticket internal?

[jimpick]

@tapaswenipathak The project is open to all. We’d happily take a contributed tutorial!

Thanks @jimpick do you have any prioritised topics list?

At the start of the year, we sketched out a roadmap for the "Dynamic Data and Capabilities" group:

https://github.com/ipfs/roadmap/pull/9/files

But then a decision was made to focus on different priorities, and the groups were re-organized to better focus on the prioritized goals for IPFS as a whole, as explained here:

https://blog.ipfs.io/78-ipfs-2019-roadmap/

I'm still maintaining the project, but it's just a part-time thing now, so I'm trying to imagine how it might look with more community contributions.

The biggest problem right now is that it's a bit complex to get started with, and not super easy to understand. Better documentation and tutorials would really help a lot!

I think it would be nice to have a bit more of a web portal / landing page for interested people, and perhaps a dedicated mailing list too. There is an IRC channel at #ipfs-dynamic-data on the FreeNode IRC network, but there's not much activity there now.

Hey @jimpick: Are you still involved in taking the RFCs forward?
