Hi Lefty, I think we should do the following:
1) Move the HCatalog wiki pages from the HCatalog space to the Hive space. (Here's the relevant Confluence doc that explains how to do this: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF20/Moving+a+family+of+pages+from+one+space+to+another ) 2) Convert the HCatalog xdocs to wikidocs and add them to the Hive wiki space. 3) Remove the "HCatalog" and "HCatalog Wiki" tabs from the Hive webpage. 4) Update the description of Hive that appears on the website to include some information about HCatalog. Thanks.
