+
+We're starting a new initiative at Apache Camel to create a community-driven
catalog of reusable Kamelets (_Camel_ route snipp_ets_, i.e. connectors) that
can be used to stream data from/to external systems into any platform powered
by Apache Camel.
+
+The ["Apache Camel Kamelet catalog" is available here](/camel-kamelets/latest)
and it already contains a collection of useful Kamelets: we would like to
extend it with help of the community.
+
+Kamelets are currently supported out-of-the-box by the [Apache Camel
K](/camel-k/latest) project and we're working to support them also in Camel
core and [Camel Kafka Connector](/camel-kafka-connector/latest/).
Review comment:
I think we may want to emphaisize a bit more by Camel core it can
eventually run anywhere with Camel also Camel Spring Boot and Camel Quarkus.

+
+We're starting a new initiative at Apache Camel to create a community-driven
catalog of reusable Kamelets (_Camel_ route snipp_ets_, i.e. connectors) that
can be used to stream data from/to external systems into any platform powered
by Apache Camel.
+
+The ["Apache Camel Kamelet catalog" is available here](/camel-kamelets/latest)
and it already contains a collection of useful Kamelets: we would like to

+
+Kamelets are currently supported out-of-the-box by the [Apache Camel
K](/camel-k/latest) project and we're working to support them also in Camel
core and [Camel Kafka Connector](/camel-kafka-connector/latest/).
+
+## Why are they useful?
+
+The most important reason why the new Kamelet catalog is so useful is that it
provides a collection of connectors that are not tied to a particular platform,
but they can be reused in multiple contexts. The new **OpenShift 4.7 developer
console** is a clear evidence of this pattern. You can look at what it provides
in the following animation:
+
+
+
+The console shows a serverless environment where a Knative channel has been
created and it's ready to receive and dispatch events to a registered
subscribing service.
+From the console, the user can add a new "Event Source" and the UI displays a
collection of possibilities: well, starting from Camel K 1.4.0, that collection
of sources will display **the official Apache Camel Kamelet catalog**. This
means that [contributing](#markdown-header-contributing) new Kamelets to the
catalog will allow you to enhance the OpenShift catalog of Knative sources, for
instance.
+
+But there's nothing in the Kamelet catalog specifically related to OpenShift:
**we show this to encourage people to take the same approach** for other
platforms (in-house or open source, especially Kubernetes-based) and use cases.
One of the advantages of this approach is that, since Kamelets have a well
defined JSON-schema interface, they are available to any kind of users,
including those who don't even know anything about Apache Camel.
Review comment:
Can we add a link to this JSon-schema (or a landing page for this spec)
