If you prefer slack over (or in addition to) the mailing list there's 
also the Arrow slack. We recently made a #javascript channel there for 
discussions about that implementation, you could certainly do the same 
for R.

That sounds interesting, i am open to join yet another slack team. 

The way I structure my time these days, I dedicate one day a week to the r 
arrow front end. Right now this is tuesdays. 

I have other strong commitment for other open projects on mondays and fridays, 
and I keep the two other days for miscellaneous projects mostly around R, my 
aim is to community fund these two days, hence my patreon page: 
https://www.patreon.com/romainfrancois

Even though I might do arrow things outside of tuesdays, this is a much weaker 
« might ». Just trying to manage expectations about my time ...

Hi Aneesh

I respectfully ask that you keep these discussions on public ASF channels
rather than directing them somewhere private or outside the ASF. We need to
be having a discussion together as a community about how to move the
project forward.

Thank you
Wes

> Do I have push rights to the main repo?

No -- see the committer / PMC list here:
http://arrow.apache.org/committers/. The PMC periodically will add new
committers based on their contributions to the project (see
https://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#roles). For the
time being I will help with reviewing and merging R-related patches.
Note that reviewing code is also "contributing" so others interested
in R are welcome to help with code / design review also.

Thanks!

Hi, 

« arrow » is fine of course, i only coined « rrrow » for fun but then it kind 
of grows on me. 

Do I have push rights to the main repo ? I guess I’ll work at lesst in branches 
esp now that I’m essentially just playing with the api. 

Btw, i did stumble into the other python arro last week on my documentatio 
hunt.

Re: gReetings

[Wes McKinney]

hi Romain,

welcome! I'm excited to see some progress on an Arrow library for R.
Feel free to make pull requests into a new "R/" top-level directory;
the work does not need to be polished

My vote would be to simply call the R library "arrow" since the real
estate seems to exist. The main reason it's "pyarrow" in Python is
that "arrow" was already taken (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/arrow).
Others may have opinions

Hello, 

I just wanted to introduce myself here. I’m Romain François, mostly involved in 
making tools for R. My track record includes being an author of Rcpp and dplyr. 

I will be working with Wes’s guidance on making an R front end for arrow. 
Initially that means going through the C++ api and perhaps see how things have 
been implemented in the python front end. For the foreseeable future, I’ll be 
spending Tuesdays on this. Some words from last week.
https://purrple.cat/blog/2018/03/07/arrow-rrrow-rcher-spurrrow/ 


Are there any resources that could be relevant, e.g. some document about how 
another front end was made ?
Are there other R people here ?

Regards, 

Romain
