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](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/post/2163) 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.**
