> IPFS is essentially run by a very well funded (300musd) private company.

That is news to me - I've thought they were a scrappy startup. The issues mentioned in the post like glitches in the docs are excusable for a project that relies on volunteers who prefer writing code to polishing docs, but if you have $300M in funding then wtf? Just, you know, hire good project management and docs people.

My understanding was that most of the team focus has shifted over to the filecoin project in the last year or two, and they aren't dedicating as many resources to ipfs. That said, I agree that this is pretty deplorable.

Several of the key members have shifted focus but there's still a core IPFS team. But we're still spread quite thin.

We're still paying down years of documentation debt but there has been quite a bit of progress:

* Expanded https://docs.ipfs.io/ with a concepts section. * Tutorials https://proto.school/#/ * A ton of work on libp2p specs (https://github.com/libp2p/specs/commits/master) along with a full time documentation writer.
