Introduction
Apache APISIX has grown as a community from the first day of open source and has quickly become the most active open source API gateway project in the world. These achievements cannot be achieved without the joint efforts of our community partners.
"If you want to go fast, go alone.If you want to go far, go together." The Apache APISIX Community Weekly Report hopes to help community members better understand the weekly progress of the Apache APISIX community and and facilitate everyone to participate in the Apache APISIX community.
We have also compiled some issues suitable for newcomers to the community to participate in! If you are interested, don't miss it!

Good first issue
Issue #5795
Link: https://github.com/apache/apisix/issues/5795
Issue description:
Sometimes, we just need install etcd, ref here. But install_dependencies.sh not support this feature, it will install all dependencies of APISIX. Should we support install etcd separately in install_dependencies.sh ?
example:
bash install_dependencies.sh etcd
Issue #5756
Link: https://github.com/apache/apisix/issues/5756
Issue description:
The current openwhisk plugin will take the response from Apache OpenWhisk and return it directly without parsing. This request may contain complex data that rewrites the status code, response headers, and response body. We need to parse it and change the APISIX response.
The complex data like this:
{
"statusCode": 401,
"headers": {
"addition-header": "a-header"
},
"body": "xxx" | {"xxx":"xxx"}
}
We need to determine if the OpenWhisk response contains them, and if they are present, write them to the APISIX response.
Issue #5634
Link: https://github.com/apache/apisix/issues/5634
Issue description:
Now, I see we had support var, var_combination in apisix limit-* plugins yet.
I think we can support a type like function so that we can write some logic as a function in the key.
Then we can get the key from the function.
