@swzCuroverse Here's a list of the To-Do placeholders throughout the doc.

[kinow]

Thanks for gathering everything here. I had no idea there were so many 😯

[swzCuroverse]

Thank you for doing this @Mackenzie-OO7. Let's me see if any of these have new tickets that didn't get marked in the todo.

Greetings @kinow and @swzCuroverse I will like to work on some of the ToDos listed here like in the Introduction section "add a link to the Core Concepts -> Requirements section". I will like like to know where the content of the Core Concepts is. Thanks
