    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1369?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15467786#comment-15467786 ] 

Julian Hyde commented on CALCITE-1369:
--------------------------------------

I'm not a huge fan of wikis. To keep the information coherent and up to date, I believe that someone who understands the site structure needs to organize (and periodically re-organize) content. This is achieved by a site authored in markdown, a pull request mechanism, and a committer to take the contribution and if necessary clean it up a bit.

Anyone who wants to contribute content can make a pull request on the web site, https://github.com/apache/calcite/tree/master/avatica/site. In this case, I think a section needs to be added to the [main doc page|http://calcite.apache.org/avatica/docs], which corresponds to https://github.com/apache/calcite/blob/master/avatica/site/_docs/index.md. Github allows you to edit pages in-place then create a pull request.

> I think it would be really neat to have a well organized list of Avatica clients on the website. This would make clients much more discoverable and make Avatica and Calcite much more easier for people to get started with. For example, Kafka has a wiki page with their clients here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Clients
> 1. Most of the clients currently available (the .NET and python ones) are currently targeted towards Apache Phoenix. Should we include these clients? If not, is there a process for reaching out to their maintainers to see if they are interested in generalising them to target Avatica?
> 2. Is there any process for including a client on such a page? Should anyone be able to add the client, or do we need explicit permission from the maintainers?
> 3. To reduce friction, is it viable to have a wiki page, so that maintainers can easily add their own clients?
