Why we start this series of articles?This series of updates about BitShares is started because I miss the ‘old times’ when there were ‘status updates’ of every DACs when bitshares toolkit was under development. I could easily catch up news and progress of every aspect without tediously reading every article from every source then. When I wanted to discuss some news with others later, all I have to do is share the link of these status updates. Today when I discuss with someone else, frequently I just cannot remenber where I read about it. Therefore, I think we all need a series of articles that record briefly about ‘who said what’ with links to the orginal articles, so people can conviniently read and quote later.
So contents of this series is going to be mainly composed of 'quotes' and 'reports', rather than 'comments', and as brief as possible. People who want to know details about each topic can follow the link in the beginning of each topic.

https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=12647.0bytemaster revealed his plan to do a ‘graph database on a blockchain’. He mentioned that the reason for this is because current common databases are not suitable for being blockchain-based databases. He also proposed some possible examples using this technology:
Forum of linked Posts
Web of Trust
Facebook
Identity Management
Organization Membership
Voting
Domain Names
Then he said this technology will be the foundation for scripting language in BitShares. Finally,
bytemaster said the bitshares library already have some features of this technology, and new features will be tested in devshares in advance.
In addition
bytemaster said he was ‘working with graph databases prior to starting bitshares’.

https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=10608.0toast mentioned that “DevShares was NEVER intended to be a sound investment or a good place to store your value. If you are complaining about DVS allocation, you simply don't understand its function!”
And he said in his title: ‘You guys don't understand devshares.’
btswildpig quoted what
bytemaster said before in here:
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=10608.0which is different from what have happened actually.
