Joey, I really like this idea, and get asks for this type of documentation from new and moderately experienced developers alike. A "Cassandra by Example" approach helps... * Highlight popular or unique use cases showcasing strengths (and weaknesses) of Cassandra. * Gives practical examples on how

Re: Google Season of Docs 2020 participation

Given the datastax donation I agree it makes sense for us to propose projects that are unlikely to overlap. What do people think about documentation that is slightly more instructional as opposed to informational? Perhaps some kind of tutorial series on "Practical examples of building useful

Re: Google Season of Docs 2020 participation

It may be early, but  considering  first an organization has to apply, and as I am familiar with what sections of documentation could be improved, I have a few suggestions. Only two projects (1 and 2 of 5 listed) were completed in 2019, and GSoD expects only one project to be completed.

Folks, GSoD 2020 is upon us. The organizational applications are due soon May 4th 2020 and I'd like us to participate in it again. GSoD 2019 brought in great deal of improvements to the C* docs and I believe GSoD 2020 will be able to bring in more enhancements. I realize we are also talking

Apache Cassandra Google Season of Docs '19 update

Hi all, Nate & I wanted to send a quick update on Google Summer of Docs for Apache Cassandra. As some of you may remember we had requested volunteers to participate in the Google Summer of Docs program a while ago. A few of you responded. One of our proposed projects were selected and now we

Re: Google Season of Docs 2019 for Apache Cassandra

Benedict - this is totally fair ask. Initially, we wanted a wide audience to help, but the GSoD stuff only allowed for two project contacts on the sign up forms. Apache Airflow (the other ASF project accepted) and us both had to do some work-arounds for how the ASF process/mail lists/etc are setup

That's great, I'm really pleased to hear it. It's just been completely invisible to the rest of the community, which is a shame - but I have no desire to detract from the work you've done, now I know it's been going on behind the scenes. It would certainly help in future, I think, if you guys

So, I think we need to figure out if anybody is actually willing to put in the time to help and mentor these contributors, since the last person to reach out was roundly ignored. Who volunteered the project for this? I think they need to step up and get involved. Right now, I don't feel

Google Season of Docs 2019 for Apache Cassandra

Hi all, I came across GSoD 2019[1]. This is different from GSoC and focuses on improving documentation for Open Source projects. I think this would be beneficial for Cassandra especially with 4.0 coming up. However, working with a technical writer will require a substantial time commitment
