+1, sounds good for me! A while ago, I also was thinking in similar way that, potentially, some kind of FAQ/Cookbook would be helpful for users since I see from time to time the similar questions on user@, Slack and SO. Later, we could extend it wider and add the examples/solutions for different topics as well. So, I’m in =) and can help with Spark examples.
