Can we breathe life back into this project?

Hi All,

It is pretty obvious that the project has come to a bit of a halt and I wondered if there was anything that we can do to get it up and running again?

I don't know the reason why it stopped in February, maybe if we knew that we could support it in some way?

I do know that I have had multiple orgs who wanted to use .NET and Spark in Databricks but in all honestly I couldn't recommend using it as it seems the project is now dead.

What would it take to bring it up to date with both .NET 7 support and support up to Apache Spark 3.4.1?

Is Microsoft willing to invest in the project or is the community able to take it on and progress it?

I'm just hoping to start a discussion really as it is a shame so much work went into this and we were so close to being able to use .NET instead of Python or Scala but it feels frustrating that we can't use .NET.
