@gagdiez.near [Posted on DevHub](/devgovgigs.near/widget/Post?id=3011) ## Solution: Renew Fellowship - Guillermo (aka gagdiez) ###### Requested amount: 30000 USDT ###### Requested sponsor: @neardevdao.near This post is a proposal to renew my [ongoing fellowship](https://near.social/devhub.near/widget/app?page=create), which follows the [DevDAO Fellowship Program](https://near.social/devgovgigs.near/widget/gigs-board.pages.Post?id=540). My name is Guillermo (aka gagdiez), and I am a Scientist, DevRel and Engineer. For the past 4 months I've been mentoring people through a [fellowship](https://near.social/devhub.near/widget/app?page=create) focused on improving our official docs. Through the course of these 4 months, the fellowship allowed me to onboard 5 contributors, out of which 2 still continue actively contributing today, and one new is being onboarded. **None** of the money was used to pay myself or cover my contributions. The fellowship had an incredibly positive impact on our docs, examples and basic js tooling, allowing us to create new content, as well as act on community feedback. See end of post for a summary of what we did so far. While my fellowship **still has funds** (as I write this, 2k usd remain), I estimate this will last less than a month. Because of this, I would like to ask for a renewal. This will allow me to keep onboarding new contributors, as well as collaborating with the existing active ones. The fellowship will continue being used to improve our docs, examples and basic JS tooling. For example, in the short term we want to focus on: - Adding documentation on chain abstraction and related tools (e.g. fast-auth, multi-chain signatures, relayers, etc.) - Add all new Rust tooling to the Rust-related docs - Keep auditing examples and updating them as needed - Fix the `Learn` section with new content and better organization ### What we did so far - Re-write all our quickstart guides: - [Contracts](https://docs.near.org/develop/contracts/quickstart) - [Web Apps](https://docs.near.org/develop/integrate/quickstart-frontend): - [Components](https://docs.near.org/bos/tutorial/quickstart) - Created new onboarding pages: - [What is a contract?](https://docs.near.org/develop/contracts/whatisacontract) - [What is a component?](https://docs.near.org/bos/tutorial/quickstart) - [What are web3 apps?](https://docs.near.org/develop/web3-apps/whatareweb3apps) - [What are primitives?](https://docs.near.org/primitives/whatareprimitives) - [What is data infrastructure?](https://docs.near.org/develop/whataredatasolutions) - Created a new [Primitives section](https://docs.near.org/primitives/ft), explaining how leverage NFT, FT, and other primitives from the CLI, Components, WebApps, and Contracts. - Added the social VM to the docs, allowing to make [interactive docs](https://docs.near.org/bos/api/near) - Fixing and update all basic examples/templates - [Hello NEAR](https://github.com/near-examples/hello-near-examples) - [Counters](https://github.com/near-examples/counters) - [GuestBook](https://github.com/near-examples/guest-book-examples) - [Donation](https://github.com/near-examples/donation-examples) - [Cross-contract calls](https://github.com/near-examples/cross-contract-calls) - Fixed [~100 broken links](https://github.com/near/docs/pull/1611) - Removed [~150 unused images](https://github.com/near/docs/pull/1725) - Removed [~800 lines of unnecesary CSS](https://github.com/near/docs/pull/1702) - Maintain NEAR-CLI (currently on version v4.0.0) - Maintain create-near-app (currently on version v6.3.1) - Fixed the docs CLI, adding caching and fixing crowdin errors - Created typedocs for multiple basic tooling, and migrate them away from docs: - [SDK JS](https://near.github.io/near-sdk-js/) - [API JS](https://near.github.io/near-api-js/) - [Workspaces JS](https://near.github.io/near-workspaces-js/) - [Lake Framework JS](https://near.github.io/near-lake-framework-js/) - Organize all docs related to building into a single [Build section](https://docs.near.org/develop/welcome) - Organize all tutorials/examples in a single [Tutorials section](https://docs.near.org/tutorials/welcome) For a thorough list of all the contributions, please check the [tracking post]()
