I really admire AWS re:Skill.
The site looks great, it functions well and it’s great if you want to get support to learn AWS.
It’s also entirely built and managed by the AWS user-group community.
The site is a testament to the power of supporting a community to do what they want to do. We all preach the importance of letting the community lead the way (and handing over control to the community). But it’s far, far, harder to actually do it. At some point, members will want to do something you disagree with.
So perhaps it’s best to decide what’s more important. Would you prefer to have members stepping up to lead and creating amazing resources for one another – even though it will cause issues from time to time?
Or…would you rather none of the above?
