Hi all, sorry for joining late. Looking at the target structure of our documentation as discussed in FLIP-42 [1] we will have some sections, which cover both APIs (SQL/Table and DataStream). These include * Getting Started * Concepts * Deployments * Operations * Connectors * Libraries (CEP, ML)

Hi all, thanks for your feedback. @Stephan: Our efforts will definitely be synced with the general Flink documentation improvements mentioned in FLIP-42. I also had an offline discussion with Konstantin about this. Concepts such as streaming concepts, time, order, etc. should definitely

big +1 to the idea of restructuring the docs. We got a lot of complaints from users about the Table & SQL docs. In general, I think the new structure is very nice. Regarding to moving "User-defined Extensions" to corresponding broader topics, I would prefer current "User-defined Extensions".
