I second Shivams thoughts . 
We are one of the early adopters of APISIX. It is great to see so much of 
features and discussions around it. I really appreciate the effort of this 
community .
However , we faced challenges using python runner and with some authentication 
modules. 
We looked out for some troubleshooting guide /videos on youtube. There were few 
videos which look to be in mandarin.
I request if there are some tutorials , it would help us to explore more and 
setup for production. 

I would like to contribute to this community by writing blogs on APISIX, once 
we are able to set It up.


Regards,
Vidya

Subject: [Discuss] A more developed community page

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 !
