ianmcook opened a new issue, #44474:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/44474
### Describe the enhancement requested
Currently the Apache Arrow project descriptions that appear prominently at
the top of the website and GitHub repo do not match and have not been updated
in quite some time. Currently the description on the website is:
> A cross-language development platform for in-memory analytics
and the description on GitHub is:
> A multi-language toolbox for accelerated data interchange and in-memory
processing
Given the immense growth in the adoption of Arrow that has occurred since we
last updated these descriptions, and the current status of the Arrow format as
a de facto standard with no directly comparable alternatives, I think it would
be appropriate for us to be somewhat bolder in how we introduce the project. I
also think that the description should include some mention of the fact that
Arrow is a _format_ in addition to a toolbox. And I think we should prefer
simpler words ("fast" over "accelerated"; "toolbox" over "development platform).
Following this rationale, I propose that we change the description on both
the website and GitHub to:
> The universal columnar format and multi-language toolbox for fast data
interchange and in-memory analytics
Thoughts?
