Home / News / Bounty - ICDevs.org Basic tutorials and site
Austin Fatheree, October 25 2021
This bounty gives the opportunity to
ICDevs would like help setting up our tutorials site and seeding it with an initial set of tutorials for developing on the IC.
We will use retype(https://retype.com/) to create a site that will live at https://tutorials.icdevs.org. Retype is a tool that lets you easily author and publish tutorials. Here is a tutorial on how to build a tutorial using retype
This site will use Austin Griffith’s Speed Run Ethereum article as a guide for what we want the first 1.0 version of this site to contain https://speedrunethereum.com/. Obviously, at this point, we don’t have anything as robust as scaffold.eth to piggyback off of, but hopefully we can use a combination of the motoko playground(https://m7sm4-2iaaa-aaaab-qabra-cai.raw.ic0.app/) and other resources to get people started.
Ultimately this repository will be an open repo where any community member can build a tutorial for something they think is important to communicate to developers trying to level up their IC development skills.
To claim this bounty you will need to complete 5 of the following topics:
Some of this content may already exist. You are free to reach out to those authors and ask if you can reproduce their content in this repo. Please credit and link to them and the original content if and only if you receive permission.
Finally, the site will need to be deployable via Fleek. See the documentation on their website here: https://docs.fleek.co/internet-computer-hosting/site-deployment/. Using code lab you should be able to generate the static html locally and check that into the repo. We can work with Fleek to figure this out, but ideally fleek won’t be needing to run any build scripts and can just deploy the source files.
FAQ:
Will you host rust tutorials - Absolutely. We’re starting with motoko, but as soon as the site is up we’d love contributions from rust devs. With enough demand we’ll look at an additional rust bounty, but that will depend on funding. We will keep funding tutorials as long as we have the resources, but ideally we’d love some passionate programmers with a teacher’s soul to start producing these for the good of the community.
Will you give authors credit - Absolutely. Our goal will be to feature, link to, and drive attention to any authors that contribute to this repository.
Will you ever sell this content - This content will be completely free and open-sourced on github and tutorials.icdevs.org. If we come up with a creative way to fundraise off the back of it in some other medium we may do so, but all proceeds will go straight back into ICDevs.org.
This bounty is currently assigned to dfinity dev forum user @efe
The ICDevs.org developer’s advisors will propose a vote to award the bounty and the Developer Advisors will vote.
Please keep your ongoing code in a public repository(fork or branch is ok). Please provide regular (at least weekly) updates. Code commits count as updates if you link to your branch/fork from the bounty thread. We just need to be able to see that you are making progress.
This bounty can be shared among authors. The goal is to produce 5 starter tutorials.
The balance will be paid out at completion.
If you are awarded this bounty and would like to hand out the tutorials to other contributors, please communicate your intentions with ICDevs. You will be responsible for assuring quality and signing off on sending payments to other contributors.
Once you have finished, please alert the dev forum thread that you have completed work and where we can find that work. We will review and award the bounty reward if the terms have been met. If there is any coordination work(like a pull request) or additional documentation needed we will inform you of what is needed before we can award the reward.
If you cease work on the bounty for a prolonged(at the Developer Advisory Board’s discretion) or if the quality of work degrades to the point that we think someone else should be working on the bounty we may re-award it. We will be transparent about this and try to work with you to push through and complete the project, but sometimes, it may be necessary to move on or to augment your contribution with another resource which would result in a split bounty.

Developers can submit applications to the Dev Forum post. The council will consider these as they come in and propose a vote to award the bounty to one of the applicants. If you would like to apply anonymously you can send an email to austin at icdevs dot org or sending a PM on the dev forum.
A developer is currently working on this bounty, you are free to contribute, but any splitting of the award will need to be discussed with the currently assigned developer.
