I can appreciate the work you put into the Awesome Cassandra list. It is difficult to keep everything up to date. I’ve been there too. The golden trophy if you want to do the absolute best thing is a full-fledged professional development initiative for Cassandra. From an instructional design view, what you do is create a body of knowledge and exhaustive list of competencies, some call KSA’s: knowledge, skills and abilities; then you do a gap analysis to find the areas in practice where gaps exists between the competencies desired and those of practitioners, then generate a mix of media for difference learning styles in a structured properly sequenced series of easy to work through steps complete with apperception exercises, and everyone will then have a smooth path towards mastery. It’s that easy. So, yes let’s turn it up a few notches.

There’s always a reason to complain if you are paying for something. TLDR; If you want to help curate / organize / gather knowledge about Cassandra, send me an email. I’d love to solve at least the knowledge management problem. Complaining itself is not a solution or a step in the right direction. Defining an issue helps by identifying specifically what the pain is and a decision can be made to resolve or not resolve it.
