      The Terracotta community is a fun place to play, but I&apos;ve been struggling with the best way to get some of the awesome stuff that people are doing out into the open.  I think I&apos;ve finally found it: the Terracotta Top Five.

Every week (or so), I&apos;ll post the Terracotta Top Five: top five user quotes, top five cool things people have done with Terracotta this week, etc.  I&apos;m still working on this week&apos;s top five, so stay tuned.
