> * AFAICT the user guide doesn't mention actions. IIUC these have both a source and sink, so you can string them together. An example in the user guide would be great. > The `kamelets` documentation certainly need some refactoring and improvements but please bear in mind that `kamelets` are still under heavy development. We are trying to make the `kamelets` and the related ecosystem a generic `camel` concept rather that a `camel-k` specific thing so there are things that are still missing or poorly documented. However if you look at the [kamelet-component](https://camel.apache.org/components/3.14.x/kamelet-component.html) document, I think it is pretty easy to understand what the various actions types are meant to be used as they are pretty much like any other component/eip. You are very welcome to improve the documentation to include a paragraph about actions. > * The kamelets in the catalog have what appear to be toy sources and sinks. Is their function for testing? Mentioning this in the user guide might be helpful. > It would be nice to report what the various sources and sinks are missing. Bear in mind that `kamelets` are opinionated and aimed to hide the complexity of the underlying components/EIPs so don't expect them to offer the same flexibility as the underlying components, if you need that flexibility then you probably should not look at `kamelets`. > > I also think the description of extract field action is pretty close to useless.... "Extract a field from the body".... and then what? I agree that in general there should be a better description of what an action is doing but about the `then what`, well it depends on what you want to achieve. Like when using the setHeader EIP you know that the the EIP sets an header, that's all, isn't it ? > Trying to find the source code behind this one, it appears to be in ` - "github:apache.camel-kamelets:camel-kamelets-utils:main-SNAPSHOT"` which I can't locate and which by the "main-SNAPSHOT" makes me wonder if it violates the Apache policy against directing people to unreleased code. > The code is available in this repository, according to the doc [dependencies](https://camel.apache.org/camel-k/1.7.x/configuration/dependencies.html), the `github:` syntax is about using [jitpack](https://jitpack.io/) as a way to get the latest snapshot. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
