This was an awesome read! I appreciate how you were able to cover a lot of ground that went deep technically while still being succinct. I'm very curious on how you solicited feedback and collaborated on the article and design decisions up to now. Can you speak to what worked well or not so well as you hashed out the details?

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Up until now we've primarily used our [Discord server]( https://discord.gg/33mKDHHFUE ) and Github issues for feedback. Starting with v2 we plan to start using Github Discussions as another avenue. Although we like Discord for free form discussion and quick questions it's not great for retention or searching for past solutions. Issues felt a bit constrained and tend to be directly tied to…

I love to see the use of Github discussions, and I appreciate you pointing out the Discord server!

I agree that having Discussions in play really help with RFCs and larger design decisions like this. Thanks for the thoughtful reply, I'll check out the ongoing discussion!

For others hunting for it, here's the link. I think dwettlaufer mentions it in another comment https://github.com/stargate/stargate/discussions/1381

Hey everyone! I wrote the words for this article but our team put in a ton of work to put this together. Just a plug that we'd love to get feedback on our design and have started a Github discussion here https://github.com/stargate/stargate/discussions/1381 . Thanks!

Nice!

In the K8ssandra project we've gone back and forth about if we should use GH discussions or forum posts (on k8ssandra.io) -- I'd be very curious to hear other thoughts on that here?

Within the core dev team I think there was a lot of favor for GH, then we could live there all of the time, which is definitely a benefit. But I'm not sure if that's the broader community desire or not, and then how it plays with search results and things like that.
