Thanks, Benjamin! > One critical part that we should try to put more forward in 2022 is the community. On Twitter people are quite responsive to it. We have a great community and we should make sure that people feel that they belong to it.
Sounds great. By community, do you mean both those who build and/or use C* (or just the folks on dev list)? There are a number of ways we can showcase this. And is there a general goal of growing the number of contributors and/or committers? We worked with Ekaterina last year to get this piece published and could do more of the same: https://opensource.com/article/21/5/apache-cassandra. > I know that pushing content to the website has been a frustrating issue. My understanding is that the problem was in fact more due to our tooling and to the ongoing work on the documentation than to the availability of committers. I do believe that the situation will improve in the future. 🤞 In the past tooling had been a factor which continues to improve. We do still see lag times and have started flagging when they come up, e.g. https://github.com/apache/cassandra-website/pull/75/commits/c80cb86ea86dbde0c0d3dee98677e7e399d1a215 > One question that I have is: would it not be possible to have our blog hosted on a real blog platform? I did not manage to find any discussion about that. Mick and Anthony will know more but generally I'd say since we invested in Antora and have a process, I'm not sure how much we'd gain by switching again. We'll work with whatever process the community prefers.
