Background

Many people in the company and the community are not familiar enough with Apache APISIX and related projects, which will lead to several problems:

1. Employees are only familiar with their own parts, and personnel cannot reuse them. This is becoming increasingly apparent in SLAs and globalization.
2. The communication with customers/engineers is limited to a few people, and the ability cannot be accumulated and reused.
3. Insufficient sense of identity with the company and the project.
4. Unquantifiable identification of everyone's learning ability and self-growth.
