Matei Zaharia commented on SPARK-17445:
---------------------------------------
I think one part you're missing, Josh, is that spark-packages.org *is* an index
of packages from a wide variety of organizations, where anyone can submit a
package. Have you looked through it? Maybe there is some concern about which
third-party index we highlight on the site, but AFAIK there are no other
third-party package indexes. Nonetheless it would make sense to have a stable
URL on the Spark homepage that lists them.
BTW, in the past, we also used a wiki page to track them:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPARK/Supplemental+Spark+Projects
so we could just link to that. The spark-packages site provides some nicer
functionality though such as letting anyone add a package with just a GitHub
account, listing releases, etc.
> Reference an ASF page as the main place to find third-party packages

> say to go to spark-packages.org, but since this is a package index
> maintained by a third party, it would be better to reference an ASF page that
> we can keep updated and own the URL for.
