Hi, Yuan! Thanks for starting this discussion! It would be really good to make those resources more prominent in the Flink website somehow.
You can find an example close to the idea you're bringing up in [1]. My concern is that placing all resources in a page can be hard to maintain and a bit overwhelming. For users, it also ends up being hard to pinpoint what they are looking for if there is too much material. Rather than trying to maintain such a page, I think it could be valuable to rethink the "Use Cases" section of the website and incorporate some relevant materials in association with the right context (e.g. industry, use case), then point users to a different place where they can find more (e.g. the Flink Forward playlist/Slideshare or other dedicated Flink channel). For blogposts, what we usually do is reach out to the authors of blogposts that are relevant to the community, but posted elsewhere, and ask to submit them to the Flink blog as well. Could this also be an option for the Chinese version of the blog? As far as I see, for now it's just a mirror of the English blog.
