It seems they’re not far from finishing and have the first few chapters up for early access and feedback. It could be the go to text for learning the protocol.

How will it be distributed?

[–] maegul@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago

It will be an O’Reilly book, so what ever they do presumably.

Sorry folks this was a joke not a serious question

[–] halm@leminal.space 1 points 8 months ago

Probably exactly like O'Reilly's other instructional books. The post says that the first two chapters are already available on their learning platform.

unfortunately he's not one of the interesting co-author of the protocol. too self centred.

[–] maegul@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I’m inclined to believe that that’s true. But it doesn’t mean he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

[–] aroom@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

he surely knows the tech. what's concerning is how he's blocking anyone trying to contribute to work on it if it doesn't fit his agenda. very concerning and self centred. a total waste.

Ohh that's pretty interesting, I didn't know about it. Is it just him or everyone in the core development that is blocking people's collaborations?
