Hi Hugh, Thank you for reaching out. I think this is a great idea. Also, great timing, considering the community is discussing a potential 5.0 alpha release soon.
It seems to me you actually suggest more than one page? 1) 5.0 and new features - could this be an update of the What’s new page? - https://cassandra.apache.org/doc/trunk/cassandra/new/index.html Adding also links to some of the talks sounds great to me. 2) Dedicated events page? We were using the Blogs page before but I don’t think it is a bad idea to split Blog posts from Events page.
