Open development

Documentation

Madiskon’s documentation describes both the idea and its implementation. Published versions are kept readable on the web, while technical development will be versioned openly.

The website is being prepared in Finnish and English. The current White Paper and architecture PDF are available in Finnish; English document versions will be added separately.

Functional specification

Architecture and requirements

Data model

Development history
