Yeah in support of this statement I think that my primary interest in this Spark Extras and the good work by Luciano here is that anytime we take bits out of a code base and “move it to GitHub” I see a bad precedent being set.
Creating this project at the ASF creates a synergy between *Apache Spark* which is *at the ASF*. We welcome comments and as Luciano said, this is meant to invite and be open to those in the Apache Spark PMC to join and help.
