+# Introduction
+The Apache Arrow PMC is pleased to announce the donation of the [Comet
project],
+a native Spark Accelerator built on [Apache Arrow DataFusion].
+
+Comet is a Apache Spark Accelerator that uses Apache Arrow DataFusion to
+accelerate Spark workloads. It is written in Rust and designed as a drop-in
+replacement for Spark's JVM based execution engine and offers significant
+performance improvements for some workloads as shown below.

Review Comment:
I felt we needed some sort of image, but this is pretty basic ASCII art...
If anyone has other ideas that would be appreciated

+
+**Figure 1**: With Comet, users interact with the same Spark ecosystem and
tools
+such as Spark SQL. However, the jobs are executed by Comet, which significantly
+faster than the JVM based executor due to its fast native execution.

+
+# Background
+
+Comet is one of a growing class of projects that aim to accelerate Spark using
+native columnar engines such as the proprietary [DataBricks Photon Engine] and
+the [Gluten project].
+
+Comet was originally implemented at Apple and the engineers who worked on the
+project are also significant contributors to Arrow and DataFusion. Now that
+Comet is part of Apache, we expect its development to accelerate and its
+community of contributors and users to grow.

+# Get Involved
+Comet is still in the early stages of development and we would love to have you
Review Comment:
It would be good to double check / make sure this is the right way to ask
people to get involved
