We'd love to see your help in contributing to implementations, or the spec / whitepaper itself.
The implementations are here.
COALA IP designed as a ledger-independent overlay protocol. So, other ledger plugins (e.g.
pycoalaip-ipfs, pycoalaip-eth) are more than welcome!
The spec is README.md. It's a work in progress. Some sections contain the keyword "TODO" and a description of what is required. Feel free to research an unfinished area and write the section yourself.
If your contribution contains information from external sources, please link to those sources.
If your contribution relies on a field that wasn't previously explained, please provide an overview of the field to give other readers the necessary background.
