I've started a draft blog post for the 5.0.0 release: https://github.com/apache/arrow-site/pull/127
Please start filling in sections--you can commit directly to my branch, make GitHub suggestions, however you want. Please keep in mind that the audience of this document is Arrow users, not Arrow developers. No need to enumerate every JIRA issue closed, that's for the changelog. Instead, try to give a higher-level presentation of what's in the release and why someone should care to install the latest.
