Jorge -- do you feel like we have a resolution on what to do with arrow2 in the near term?
The current state of affairs seems to me that arrow2 is released from https://github.com/jorgecarleitao/arrow2 to crates.io (which is fine). Are you happy with keeping development in the jorgecarleitao repo where you will retain maximal control and flexibility until it is ready to start integrating? Or would you prefer to put it into one of the apache repos and subject its development and release to the normal Arrow governance model (tarball, vote, etc)? Since you are the primary author/architect I think you should have a substantial say at this stage.
