rebase needed :) |
Have done a review/polish pass. Writing is solid but made a few edits I think we should include before publishing (a couple instances of 'pos mining' that slipped through, some leftover characters from resolved conflicts, formatting for consistency, etc.). Can't figure out how to push these changes to the PR branch though. They seem stuck on my fork...:/ |
This relates to Issue #581 – change of terminology from “PoS Mining” to “(PoS) Voting”, and from “stakepool” to “Voting Service Provider (VSP)”.
My intention is to submit this Pull Request as part of a Politeia proposal to gauge support for a change in terminology. While this may seem trivial, terms like “stakepool” are woven quite deeply into a number of platforms. Changing them all at once, to avoid confusion, is quite an undertaking, and therefore it seems appropriate that stakeholder support for the change should be established first.
So, don't merge this PR yet.
I identified the following pages where the old terms are used, there are probably more, if you know any please add them on this PR.
Part of the way through editing the FAQ docs, I realized the information they contain is largely redundant with the more visible docs, so it probably makes sense to just leave them alone and add a note about older terms being used.
I have not changed filenames or the menu titles, yet. I can either do that as part of this PR or open a new one for it after this one is merged. It would be easier to wait until the titles within the documents are nailed down and update menus as a batch job.
