#274 Polkadot.study - Educational Platform for Developers
Polkadot.study aims to be an educational learning platform, that allows developers to increase their skills on topics concerning the polkadot ecosystem. After 2+ weeks of discussion, feedback and revisions on polkassembly I now feel confident to propose the creation and moderation of the above.
Context
Onboarding new developers that stay active and contribute to a lively ecosystem and community are crucial for the success of a network like Polkadot / Kusama
Problem
Good learning resources for developers in forms of tutorials with interactive code examples are missing, or scattered at many different places.
Proposal
Online learning platform for developers by developers in the polkadot ecosystem with the following key features:
- Search engine optimized react landing page with great UX to onboard developers
- Interactive Learning quizzes (see appendix for example)
- Github CI setup for automatic builds
- Open source tutorials written in Markdown (based on Docusaurus, editable via GitHub pull requests)
- Fund authors (this proposal asks for the funding of 10 initial written tutorials to kickstart the process)
- Filter Tutorials by Tags (e.g. „substrate“)
- Landing page for each tag with additional links to docs, additional learning resources
Requested Amount
A total of 1492 KSM is requested, split in 80% upfront to ensure start and 20% on completion: 1193 KSM + 299KSM.
This referendum asks for the first payment of 1193 KSM.

Overall 60 % of users are feeling optimistic. Hey Gabriel, I appreciate your approach and am willing to repay a portion of the granted amount. I used a 30-day moving average to calculate the KSM price when I posted the proposal. I will request the final 20% payout with a new referendum upon completion of the work, adjusting the amount based on the KSM price and other factors. I will also actively participate in the Polkadot Forum discussions. Thank you for your support, and I will provide regular updates on Github. Your proposal for dev documentation is exciting, and I...See More
Overall 20 % of users are feeling neutral. A proposal Audit has been created as part of Proposal #67, using the Treasury proposal template. The Audit process and templates are available for free use.

Overall 20 % of users are feeling against it. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that excess funds will be returned to the treasury, as it is ultimately up to the proposers to act in good faith. While some proposers have chosen to pay back excess funds, there is no enforcement mechanism in place. It is important for proposers to set a clear precedent by returning excess funds to ensure continued funding for new ideas.

This is very exciting to get an aggregated place for dev documentation, thanks for this proposal! Please during milestone 1 think about posting updates on the doc content so that community and projects can help completing the list.
Thanks for the comment and support. Will post updates regularly. Also everything will be open source on github so anyone can propose changes.

Hey Niklas,
I see in your proposal you used a KSM price of 33USD. Are you open to return any excess funds to the treasury upon payout?
A payback currently (unfortunately) still cannot really be enforced by the community and is ultimately up to the proposers to act in good faith after receiving the payout. There have been some examples of proposers paying back excesses and I sincerely hope more proposers follow in this path in order to set a clear precedent and ensure funding for many more great ideas.
Hey Gabriel,
I understand your approach and am willing to pay back a yet-to-decide part of the granted amount. I used a 30 day moving average to calculate the KSM price on the exact day that I posted the proposal. When the work is finished = when I would request the last 20% of the payout with a new referendum, I will include calculations and eventually request a smaller amount depending on moving KSM price between proposal and payout as well as other factors.
I will also monitor and contribute to the corresponding Polkadot Forum Post discussing those price swings.
