It's so sad that Storm probably will be moved to the attic. Honestly, we have been using this great system on our prod for a few years but I face similar problems people mentioned here as well. It looks like the community is either non-active or very low, starting from searching for any info about Storm beyond hello world to discussions\articles, etc. One big problem for me like for a user is the fact that it's really hard to find some people and maybe sites for discussions. When I face a few bugs with a storm and saw that some users faced it as well, I investigate it a bit on my own and then wanted to describe it somewhere like StackOverflow, etc to better understand the issue and maybe even help to fix it since its hard to fix something along in such a big project but almost nobody responded. I wanted to open a Jira bug and maybe discuss it there but it's closed for registration for random users. Even tried here in "lists.apache.org" but the same result. So maybe community really swiftly decreases over time which is sad.
