To clarify: assuming we have something like this *in project governance*, I definitely think it'd be helpful to have this on the downloads page and the default "getting started building" experience we recommend. Alternatively we could update the wiki to have a tools page and different ecosystem participants just add the various things they have that support Cassandra and link them there. Something like Spark does here: https://spark.apache.org/third-party-projects.html or Kafka here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Ecosystem On Thu, Jul 9, 2020 at 12:55 PM Ekaterina Dimitrova <e.dimitr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > Everything said up to now sounds good to me.
