Josh, you made my point for me. Lower the barriers to entry, not throw extra steps I don’t need at me. If someone like me offers to knock out something that's been a problem for the group and can do a very professional job, next time get out of the way. I don't make junk Josh. Sorry that Apache is not interested in a site with multi-media support; or even sites with complete pages. Show me one quality open source Apache site. Wake up. Raise your bar! Engineers shouldn't speak in the language of mediocrity.

You're one person among a community of back-end Java devs. If you want people to contribute to things you need to lower the barriers to entry, not deep-dive into some bespoke thing that may never see the light of day and, when completed, misses the mark on what users of cassandra care about: clarity and speed. Also: bus-factor 1 is bad. Another weird thing: Wouldn't we want a website that is dynamic and > multi-media rich? Personally? No. We're talking function here, not form. As an engineer, I don't want to wade through someone else's idea of what "dynamic and multi-media rich" means when I'm trying to find an answer to something or learn something so I can get on with my job.
