Hello Parquet Devs, I propose we merge the first (admittedly bare bones) "Implementation Status" page PR [1] to the website soon. I think this page is vital to the Parquet community (and to any attempt to extend the format) so the sooner the better.
The reason to merge the PR now is to have a base from which to build. That PR is already over a year old and has so many comments it is hard to follow or know what the path forward is. If we insist on sorting all the details out before we merge it I fear it will never merge. Once we have a page, I think the next steps are to add a preamble explaining what it is for and to start trying to fill out the chart for an implementation (I am happy to try for parquet-rs). I suspect during that process we will have to adjust some of the charts more. Thank you for your consideration (and thank you for all the comments so far) Andrew [1]: https://github.com/apache/parquet-site/pull/34
