I like the single ecosystem page approach. If I am new to Accumulo and visit this page, I would expect to see a list like this under the heading "What are Accumulo related projects I should care about?"
- Non-Java client libraries (C++, Python, Scala ...) - Event processing interfaces (Storm ...) - Querying (Hive, Pig ...) - Data pipelines (Cascading/Scalding, Flume) - Serialization (Avro, Protobuf, Thrift) I am sure that there are many more however as a new user something like this seems like "table stakes".
