(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-06-05)

currently i am leading a benchmark between the smartcontracts platforms, and i am exploring the **Rootstock** platform.

I think this project has a lack of documentation. My question is what is the current state of this project? I've learned they've launched the GINGER TESTNET recently.

is there any relevant post or documentation about this project and about its recent news. If there is a post explaining the deployment of a smartcontract on the testnet it will be very helpfull.
