Thanks for releasing. Looks useful and aligned with several projects I've worked on.

The first thing I looked for was a canonical package / resource specification in build.py. Any chance supporting Frictionless data resource spec for interop?

As Kevin mentioned we can extend support to frictionless (and are acceptign PRs on GitHub :). The thing we didn't love about frictionless is that it requires the user to fully specify the schema. We take a slightly more automated approach: https://docs.quiltdata.com/make-a-package.html https://docs.quiltdata.com/buildyml.html

I think we could generate a frictionless schema pretty easily...

We've definitely been looking at that! Are you using frictionless data packages now?
