Core: mention separation of concerns from Bitcoin.org #1187
Conversation

Concept ACK. Thanks @harding! Nevertheless the separation is only virtual because the power/centralization is not really separated. The domain/site owners can always change the sources of the Core pages. But okay and somehow unavoidable IMO |

utACK, would be nice to have +1 from domain owners @theymos @Cobra-Bitcoin . |

ACK, this looks like a reasonable thing to mention on the site. |

Yes I like this, but agree with @saivann that I'd like to know that the domain owners see it this way. |
|
Concept ACK. |

Thanks everyone. Scheduling this for merge late tomorrow (Wednesday). |
|
No offence intended, but I don't think that it's relevant whether or not the domain owners see it this way... |
|
@luke-jr Domain owners have been more active lately and doing more maintainer-level decision making, and technically speaking, they have control over the domain, which is the highest level of control someone can have over bitcoin.org . Thus, making sure they agree with that separation, especially given that it's only a symbolic one (basically just some general agreement), seems rather important to me. |
|
Agreed @saivann. I think merge should be postponed until the domain owners chime in. |
|
@jrmithdobbs: One of the owners ACK'd here, which is why I scheduled the merge. |
|
Missed him chiming in. My bad. |
|
ACK, sounds good to me |
- 1187: Core: mention separation of concerns from Bitcoin.org - 1188: Updated requirements in full-node.md
This commit makes two changes. First it modifies the footer on the Bitcoin Core pages:
This drops the Press page and the Blog page and changes the About link to the page described below. Beneath the copyright statement, a short message tells readers that the Bitcoin Core pages are not a normal part of the site; the link here also points to the page described below.
The second change is a new page that describes the relationship between Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin.org in detail:
All the text in both changes is just draft text, so please feel free to make suggestions. In addition, I'm open to combing this with #1186 if a more visible disclaimer is desired for the main page. What I tried to aim for with this PR is a short and unobtrusive disclaimer on every Bitcoin Core page as well as a separate page where we could go into depth about the separation between the two projects.
Related to this PR, I also created a new tag for the site for Bitcoin Core issues to help people (like me) who want to focus on them: https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/labels/Core
