Hello David! This is a very generous offer -- I think it's really quite nice to consider donating it to the Apache Avro community, especially since it looks like it's a well-appreciated feature and you've put quite a bit of effort into it!
I personally think this would be a welcome addition to the Avro project. We've accepted code donations in the past, we usually discuss it on the mailing list among devs and then call a vote (See the Rust SDK[1]). I downloaded, compiled and tested the project in a matter of minutes, which is really promising! We currently use Maven (of course) for all of our Java code, but I don't see it being a blocker to introduce Gradle to build a Gradle plugin. You mentioned not having as much time to dedicate to this, but you probably have some useful insights! Are you looking for someone to just take the existing repo as-is, and repackage/adapt it into the existing Avro project, or would you have some time (even limited) to help guide us into putting it in place? Is there anything we should especially consider? All my best, Ryan [1]: https://lists.apache.org/thread/m3r4svytnn6do9tw0476nwttgtcp60qj "Rust donation vote." On Wed, Sep 7, 2022 at 3:16 PM David M.
