Hello TinkerPop dev@ (cc: Robin Schumacher (DataStax) and Ketrina Yim (our lady of light)),
DataStax is interested in doing an Apache TinkerPop resources page much like they do for Apache Cassandra w/ Planet Cassandra (http://www.planetcassandra.org/). As you may or may not know, I work for DataStax and thus, I thought it important to run this by the community first to collect community ideas. Conversations are bouncing around the following ideas: 1. Professional training videos about TinkerPop. 2. Professional "in the wild"-videos showcasing TinkerPop's use around the world. 3. A place for the various TinkerPop-enabled graph system providers to showcase their implementations. 4. Polished write-ups/blogs from anyone that wants to submit content (of course, I would want it to be reviewed to ensure only rock solid quality is promoted). - I come from academia so I would think of it as a peer-reviewed journal. Perhaps a +1 VOTE model :). - This could be really cool if we do it right. 5. And of course, work with Ketrina to make the entire page a "Dr. Seuss" fantasy world (in the classic TinkerPop fashion). - If anything, I really want to see what TinkerLand looks like… that could open the door to a whole new level of the comic TinkerPop story. 6. I like novel, new ways of doing things so if you have a unique idea for TinkerLand, please please please articulate. I think TinkerPop could do really well by having some polished/professional material generated around it that helped organizations learn to use TinkerPop as well as give an outlet for everyone willing to put time&effort into TinkerPop-related content. Please voice your thoughts. If people are generally excited, I will do the leg work (along with Robin Schumacher) to get things going. However, if this idea is frowned upon, then, of course, we do not want to upset the community. Likewise, mentors, please articulate any issues or concerns. Thank you everyone, Marko. http://markorodriguez.com
