Hi everyone, I like the idea of having a place to collect material (blogs, talk recordings, slides) on Flink. As Robert said, we had this before and dropped it at some point because the content became stale. Also I feel we would need something more dynamic than a static website (like flink.apache.org) but something with search, tags, up/down votes.
What do you think about collecting content on an external site similar to flink-packages.org. Maybe flink-packages.org can be extended to also list content pieces or a new page (flink-content.org/flink-materials.org/???) could be built. This is of course significantly more work, but might pay off because it can offer more interaction and we could also allow externals (i.e, non-committers) to post new content. What do you think?
