Sean Mackrory commented on BIGTOP-718:
--------------------------------------
I've added a link to the Requirements page near the FAQ, and I've added what I
consider to be a fair approximation of the quote Tom White posted from the
board resolution. It sounds like there's consensus that any further changes
will be part of a separate discussion on project by-laws, so I believe this
issue is otherwise resolved.
Unless somebody disagrees with the change in the Wiki, could a committer please
resolve this? Thanks!

> Key: BIGTOP-718

> Project: Bigtop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation
> Reporter: Sean Mackrory
> Assignee: Sean Mackrory

> I think some updates are in order for this Wiki page in order to more
> accurately reflect the goals of the project:
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/BIGTOP/Requirement+for+adding+a+new+component+to+Bigtop+distribution.
> For starters, it should have a more prominent link on the Wiki and a summary
> on the project home page. Not only is it going to be an increasingly common
> question, but it's an important part of defining what "Bigtop" is really all
> about. I know when I first started on the project it was the first thing I
> looked for.
> Second, we say projects have to be "Big Data"-related. Judging by other
> documents* and existing discussions regarding new components, it seems like
> we really mean to say "Hadoop"-related, and I think the extra focus would be
> good (having said that, I do think of Spark as Hadoop-related).
