Hi all,

@dimas-b suggested bringing PR #4368 to this list for visibility. The PR
adds a pointer from README.md to the auto-generated Code Wiki for Apache
Polaris (https://codewiki.google/github.com/apache/polaris), framed as a
third-party navigation aid rather than an authoritative reference.

Feedback on the PR surfaced a structural question worth discussing here:
- The Code Wiki is 100% AI-generated, and the project cannot review or
control its content. @snazy's concern (paraphrased): if we point to it from
our own docs, we are endorsing content we can't fully trust; it may also
drift from the codebase version. His counter-proposal is to invest in more
in-tree READMEs that the project reviews and versions.
- @dimas-b raised a middle path: share the Code Wiki idea via a personal
blog post rather than a direct link from CONTRIBUTING.md.

The question for the list: what posture do we want the project to take
toward AI-generated external references like this?
A. Link with clear caveats (current PR, narrowed to README only).
B. Don't link from project docs; share via personal blog post.
C. Don't link externally; invest in reviewed in-tree README expansion
instead.
D. Name your better ideas!

Please share your thoughts over ML thread here or PR:

Thanks,
