Hi all, Congratulations to the community for the first Polaris release as a top-level project!
I went ahead and changed the Polaris Helm char repository URL on Artifact Hub. We now have a nice landing page: https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/apache-polaris/polaris/1.4.0 Also, we are now a verified publisher. The next step is to apply for "official" status.
