Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

Up until now we've primarily used our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/33mKDHHFUE) and Github issues for feedback. Starting with v2 we plan to start using Github Discussions as another avenue. Although we like Discord for free form discussion and quick questions it's not great for retention or searching for past solutions. Issues felt a bit constrained and tend to be directly tied to pull requests. Our hope is that with Discussions we'll be able to have more long form discussions that can be retained and made us of by others in the community. Also with Discussions we would like to start making use of an RFC process where anyone can propose designs, discuss, and then proceed with implementation.

I love to see the use of Github discussions, and I appreciate you pointing out the Discord server!

I agree that having Discussions in play really help with RFCs and larger design decisions like this. Thanks for the thoughtful reply, I'll check out the ongoing discussion!

For others hunting for it, here's the link. I think dwettlaufer mentions it in another comment https://github.com/stargate/stargate/discussions/1381

In the K8ssandra project we've gone back and forth about if we should use GH discussions or forum posts (on k8ssandra.io) -- I'd be very curious to hear other thoughts on that here?

Within the core dev team I think there was a lot of favor for GH, then we could live there all of the time, which is definitely a benefit. But I'm not sure if that's the broader community desire or not, and then how it plays with search results and things like that.
