Update Readme to clarify support status?

[brucearctor]

the ReadME has "This is an unsupported open source project created by DataStax employees." has that at the top.

Is that accurate?

Perhaps this was created by DataStax employees is correct. BUT, as an 'active' Apache [ incubating ] project, is this really not supported? Highlighting an open source project is not supported seems like a good way to turn users/contributors away!?

Thoughts? What's the status here? Should that wording be updated/removed?

Hi. This is obviously not accurate. The transition to an ASF project is still not complete. We are still waiting for confirmation for the project name, which then needs to be updated everywhere. Also the license headers at the top of each file weren't updated yet.

makes sense -- thanks for quick response!

I found myself digging into ASF project on the [ lol ] hunt for somewhere interesting to contribute.

This project looks quite interesting; will give it a shot as a user, and intermittently check open issues for clear opportunities to contribute. Cheers -

Excellent! Yes, we find it interesting and revolutionary too.

Would you like me to start creating some tickets of tasks I have in mind for the future?I can do that while we continue to go through naming and license header chores...

f there are issues I'd take a look and likely pick up things that are fitting. I probably need to run/test/use Hunter at first :-)

On creating issues: I play with some other OSS projects. In the event of creating issues, you might want to create a convention and use a tag to indicate 'beginner', 'starter', 'newbie', 'good-first-issue', to make it even easier for potential contributors to get moving. In addition to getting relevant contribution guide.

I am also generally happy to update docs as I go through things, as that helps others that try to follow a similar path in the future.

Hi @brucearctor !

Thank you for your interest in the project!

Please check out project documentation in https://github.com/apache/hunter/tree/master/docs. Documentation pages often reference reproducible examples from https://github.com/apache/hunter/tree/master/examples that use Docker Compose, so you can quickly set up Hunter against a test dataset.
