What problem does your feature solve?

Many Docs pages reference the SDF, which receives only a Glossary entry at most.

While a number of other blockchain networks employ foundations with varying levels of control over the network, Stellar seems unique due to its lack of mining. 🌐

In this light, might it help to clarify for new users the difference between Stellar and the SDF more explicitly?

What would you like to see?

A standalone page extending the small footnote detailing the history of the SDF from early SF startup days to global changemaker status. 🤝🏾

As much transparency around operations as might be prudent and not already available on public sites (which could be helpfully linked).

An explicit detailing of the SDF's role in Tier 1 operations and the communication methods used between its trusted validators.

What alternatives are there? 🔍

We could leave this documentation scarce and vague, opening the door for legal structural scrutiny.

While this is an easier option, I respectfully submit that further community-centric development explainers might best serve ongoing decentralization efforts. 💡

Alternatively, we might create a separate site hosting internal publications and such, as presently shared by certain core devs through their personal blogs and such.
