Name

Acropolis

Naming Rational

We are naming our testnets after cities, locations and empires that's been important in the evolution of democratic principles and the rule of law. After Athens, we realized the next release would be smaller from a users POV. We therefore landed on Acropolis, as "The history of the Acropolis of Athens is long, with moments when democracy, philosophy and art flourished...".

The technical goals of Acropolis is to improve our technical credibility, and add two new features:

Specification of all modules to improve onboarding for contributors, and set a good precedence for the platform.
Add tranches to the storage-node, to allow users with limited capacity to participate in a future with a large content directory.
Introduce a feature freeze (bugfixes and Pioneer app excluded) after module test to avoid rushing releases without all features working.
Introduce an on-chain forum for platform communication.

The main goals for the community is to introduce:

A forum for communication
Reduce the disc storage requirement for Storage Providers by introducing tranches.
