Josh Elser commented on SPARK-17445:
------------------------------------
bq. I think one part you're missing, Josh, is that spark-packages.org is an
index of packages from a wide variety of organizations, where anyone can submit
a package.
Ah, that is true. I made no efforts to understand the curation/policies behind
the website (because I really don't care what the owners do -- it's their
website/service). I think this is disjoint from my original concern though --
it may be de-facto with respect to the available third-party packages for
Apache Spark, but I still think the PMC could do a better job at clearly
stating this it is not an "Apache Spark" service. I don't see a down-side to my
original suggestion (and it sounds like you agree).
If it comes down to it, point me at the website source, and I'm happy to submit
a change which introduces a new page :)

> say to go to spark-packages.org, but since this is a package index
> maintained by a third party, it would be better to reference an ASF page that
> we can keep updated and own the URL for.
