Hi Clay, I don't recall discussion of providing something like this,
in the past. Can you recall when it was discussed, and why it was
decided against?

In my opinion, the past is one data point. I'd like to see reasons for
and against. I see:

Pro - increases our branding, points to help and also to ways to grow
the community

Con - it is one more thing we need to maintain
