Just want to provide a quick update that we have submitted the "Spark Extras" proposal for review by the Apache board (see link below with the contents).
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zRFGG4414LhbKlGbYncZ13nyX34Rw4sfWhZRA5YBtIE/edit?usp=sharing Note that we are in the quest for a project name that does not have "Spark" as part of it, and we will provide an update here when we find a suitable name. Suggestions are welcome (please send them directly to my inbox to avoid flooding the mailing list).
