hi folks, I made a pass through JIRA and added all of the issues I (personally) would like to see in the next major release (or the one after). You can see them here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/ARROW/versions/12341352 If anyone would like to add more issues to the release (or create new ones), please go ahead. I'd like to target a 0.8.0 release candidate for the week of October 30 or worst case the week after. This gives us about 4 weeks to sprint on these issues, and toward the end of this period we can reduce scope as needed. Any help that you can contribute would be much appreciated. We have a sync this Wednesday 4 October at 16:00 UTC, so we can discuss the 0.8.0 release on the call as well. Thanks Wes
