developer-portal VS solana

You wanna develop dApps/run a stake pool? https://developers.cardano.org/

If you see broken links please open an issue in the repository, though perhaps IOHK's server (https://hydra.iohk.io) is just down in this instance.

Had heard there has been some improvement here https://developers.cardano.org/

Also, there's forum.cardano.org and developers.cardano.org where you can find other looking for help.

Another useful source is the Cardano Foundations https://docs.cardano.org/ and for the more technically minded the Cardano Developer Portal https://developers.cardano.org/

I'd start with the official developers portal at https://developers.cardano.org/

check: https://developers.cardano.org/

It’s easy to make a repo look very active. I guess they count commits, which is a terrible metric. Look at this PR in one of the Cardano repos: https://github.com/cardano-foundation/developer-portal/pull/471/commits

For getting started with Cardano specifically https://developers.cardano.org/ is a really good place to start.

Solana (9700 GitHub Stars) https://github.com/solana-labs/solana

EIP Core standards: Changes to Solana’s core code go through “feature gates” in the Solana repo. Yes, it’s much less organized than the EIP pages you are used to, and a headache to understand or keep up with. A cost of the speed of development, I’m told.

I visited the project on github (https://github.com/solana-labs/solana), and tried to get an overview of the ~800 open issues and ~100 open PRs.

Solana

With the introduction of new and advanced blockchain platforms in the Web 3.0 scene, the narrative around Ethereum has slowly shifted towards its younger “Ethereum Alternatives”. Solana, Avalanche, and MultiversX (former Elrond) are some of the crypto blockchains that are given this terminology, as they share similar features but are comparatively cheaper and better than Ethereum.

I understand this initiative is connected with Solana network [1] in some way?

They do, actually: https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/security/policy

Not sure I understand your question, but if you want the source code you can find it on github (https://github.com/solana-labs/solana)

Some topics that may be discussed in the next call include @ShinobiSystems Timely Vote Credits proposal (https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/master/docs/src/proposals/timely-vote-credits.md), @elusivprivacy new built-in cryptographic operations to accelerate ZK verification (for privacy tech), and feature activation coordination standards.
