I am not familiar with the GitHub discussion feature, but could we start with GitHub Issue tags + templates to distinguish between actual issues vs this kind of questions? Why is that not sufficient?
Also, if there are a lot of questions about the roadmap, I think we should discuss and make good milestones for the project that are decoupled from releases. I remember there was a similar question since we removed the roadmap page in the website: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/10390, maybe we should reconsider adding at least a pointer in the website to the milestones page. -Jack On Tue, Jul 9, 2024 at 8:32 AM Ryan Blue <b...@databricks.com.invalid> wrote: > My only concern about using this tool is that we may be further separating > where discussion happens and not everyone will see what's happening. > Usually, the dev list is the canonical place for discussions.
