Coming in late to an old thread. I was looking around at the Hadoop documentation (hadoop.apache.org and wiki.apache.org/hadoop) and I'd sum up the current state of the documentation as follows: 1. hadoop.apache.org is pretty clearly full of technical information. My only minor nit here i

I think we should try to keep ownership over the #hadoop channel (do we have ownership?) but make it clear on the website and in the channel greeting that this is for user-on-user discussion, and it's not actively monitored by developers. On Thu, Jul 14, 2016 at 3:37 PM, Akira AJISAKA wrote: > I

I seldom check out IRC (as my experience was the same). I'm OK with retiring it if no committers are around. On a related note, I know Tsuyoshi set up a slack channel for the committers. Even that one is pretty idle. :) Should we use it more often? If that starts to gain traction, we could set up
