@TusharSuradkar Thank you for these thoughtful questions.
Regarding your first point, I plan to reflect on this in more detail in a future Connect post, where I can share specific suggestions and approaches to encourage more hosts to write recaps.
For the second point, the intention behind presenting the “leaderboard” alphabetically is to promote inclusivity rather than competition. My focus with the Recap of Recaps series is to strengthen meet-up participation and encourage wider global engagement. A country-wise alphabetical listing makes it easier for readers—especially those not featured prominently—to quickly find their country and feel represented.
Additionally, the key highlights and summaries are already clearly presented in the main post for overall understanding.
Above all, I consciously try to present information in a way that feels inclusive to everyone. Placing higher numbers at the top may emphasize competition, whereas this format ensures broader participation is acknowledged and encouraged.
