Hi community,

So, I had a brief discussion with Zhiyuan on our community page.
<https://apisix.apache.org/docs/general/community> and we came to a
conclusion that we can do better than the current version. People more
involved in OSS, will most likely hit GitHub first, but people new to this
space, might reach the site first, and a welcoming and informative
community page will improve positive hits to develop and spread the
community.

So, getting into some details, here are some ideas from my side -
- Details to join the community (slack + mailing list) (I know this one is
present in general docs, but we can move it out to the contribute/community
page maybe)
- Put up details of recent community events, presented in a more visual and
aesthetic manner, like with video thumbs etc.
- Put references to video tutorials of APISIX, from platforms like YouTube
or any one active in China.
- Also, some blogs to get started with open source at APISIX or in general.
- Forum integration in this page (Like Disqus, if you are familiar). I have
not checked for GitHub discussion integration in websites yet, but I guess
workarounds are possible.

Feel free to add more ideas, I will filter out ones that seem good and
draft a document of sorts.

We can make this page a one stop destination for anyone thinking to
contribute to APISIX or OSS in general.
Also to mention, if anyone other than me feels interested in the
development cycle, feel free to come forward and take up this.

Best regards !
