# Summoners' Handbook Update  
This document aims to lay out the context, objective, scope and plan to update the Summoners' Handbook since the documentation revamp in August. 

Some context: 
* **After August revamp**, the docs has 2 sections (Docs and Handbook)
    * Docs: The current docs is split into Features, Tutorials and FAQ
    > Features explain how features work, Tutorials guide users to complete a goal, FAQs are catch-alls that should be groomed into Features/Tutorials/Handbook where necessary. 
    * Handbook are onboarding documents that introduce and onboard respective Discord tracks (e.g. Contributors, Summoners) to do what they need to
* **State of the Docs**: 
    * **Changes made**: I've been adding to FAQs from Discord support messages, but haven't really added to the Features/Tutorials/Handbook
    * **Overlaps in Summoners' FAQ & Handbook**: The content in Summoners' FAQ seems to overlap with what Summoners might need in their Handbook. 
    * **Discord trends**: More & more questions coming up from users before they summon a DAO - dilution bount, shares, loots, best practices, hard mode summoning, etc.  

# Objective

With the above context, our objective here is to **outline and spec out the documentation required for the Summoners' Handbook.** 

The Summoners' Handbook should help summoners understand:
1. **Why DAOs** (for summoners)
2. **Why DAOhaus** (i.e. what features do DAO summoners care about? )
3. **Basic tutorials to get started** (i.e. how to summon your DAO)

To draw the line between Handbook content vs Docs (Tutorials/Features) content, the Docs content should explain features and tutorials for the **general DAO audience**, while the Handbook content should be specifically for DAO **summoners**. 

Again, there will be **overlaps in the futur**e as more advanced questions, features and tutorials are mostly asked by DAO summoners. To start, the straightforward approach is to **have the Handbook contain basic concepts and tutorials** (e.g. summon your 1st DAO) and then shape it along the way.
