[Esip-documentation] Strategic plan and ACDD

[Kenneth S. Casey - NOAA Federal]

Why do you need to finalize a classic version?  Can't the new extended netCDF version be written in such a way that it works with classic files too?  Maybe a few "if classic do this, if extended do that" constructs would be needed… but that has a better feel to me than having two different standards in development.  I can not volunteer, sorry.

We have agreed that this future involves two paths: a final netCDF Classic compliant version (1.2) and a new netCDF extended / HDF / ISO compliant version (2.0). Ed and I both expressed some interest in pursuing 2.0, but we still need someone to shepard 1.2 forward... Any volunteers?
