+The Apache Arrow Rust community is excited to announce that its migration to a
new development workflow is now complete! If you're considering Rust as a
language for working with columnar data, read on and see how your use case
might benefit from our new and improved project setup.
+
+In recent months, members of the community have been working closely with
Arrow's [Project Management Committee][1] and other contributors to expand the
set of available workflows for Arrow implementations. The goal was to define a
new development process that ultimately:
+- Enables a faster release cadence that adheres to [SemVer][15] where
appropriate
+- Encourages maximum participation from the wider community with unified
tooling
+- Ensures that we continue to uphold the tenets of [The Apache Way][2]
+
+If you're just here for the highlights, the major outcomes of these
discussions are as follows:
+- The Rust projects have moved to separate repositories, outside the main
Arrow [monorepo][9]
+ - [arrow-rs][7] for the core Arrow implementation in Rust
+ - [arrow-datafusion][8] for DataFusion and Ballista (more on these
projects below!)
+- The Rust community will use GitHub Issues for tracking feature development
and issues, replacing the Jira instance maintained by the Apache Software
Foundation (ASF)
+
+But why, as a community, have we decided to change our processes? Let's take a
slightly more in-depth look at the Rust implementation's needs.
Review comment:
Possibly worth mentioning that this is a shift back towards the process
used by Ballista?
Adds the context of "going back to a thing that worked" rather than "let's
try something new".
