Considering there is no download for anything older than 3.2.x on the referred download page, we likely need some change to the README.md to reflect a more modern version. We also need more explicit instructions for installing Spark than just the download. Whether we detail this or point to Spark docs that are sufficient is certainly a consideration.
At the end of the day, we are missing any sort of quick start guide for devs to be able to successfully build and/or run tests. Thoughts?
