Description

As discussed on the dev list, the upcoming release of Apache Cassandra 5.0 would benefit from a public landing page: https://lists.apache.org/thread/xwb1bxpdcof1bk3x8wnbo5wrlkklq07k

The landing page would educate users about what is coming up in this important release, highlighting why upgrading will be valuable to them, as well as guiding them into more community activities, such as Town Halls and Contributor Meetings, where they can learn more and become further involved.

The landing page should include:

• An overview of the release with a brief summary of the major features
• Links to each of the relevant CEP pages on Confluence
• CTAs to community platforms and activities - Slack, Meetups, Town Halls, Contributor Meetings, etc.

At the same time, the CEP pages on Confluence should be updated to ensure they include the most current information about the feature and enhanced with any videos or other resources that highlight the work being done.

All of the new and updated content should be written to be accessible and understandable to end users.

I will draft the initial page and add it to this ticket.
