[Esip-documentation] Strategic plan and ACDD

[John Graybeal]

Hiya Derrick!  Just wanted to let you know that Nan and I just had a nice chat that resolved all our outstanding questions -- the documentation hasn't been updated to match but I hope to finish that today. I'll let you and the list know when that 's the case.

Ted, there is one item at the top of the chat page that is on you and me to do (roles patterns), and I am thinking we should deliberately push it to the groups-aware ACDD update for NetCDF 4. Unless you are particularly eager to work it through now, in which case let me know and we can see if we can help.

John

I've struggled to do much more than organize the occasional telcon.  I'll make a suggestion and if it's accepted by the steering group then I'll follow through with organizing a call to vote on the current content.

If you look at the Talk page, you'll see a list of outstanding issues and the conversation that John has mostly carried out with himself.  You and Nan have weighed in a bit and I made one or two comments.  Since there is no other activity, I conclude that John, Nan, and yourself are the only ones who've given much thought to the terms and definitions during the last year.

When I hear from all three of you I'll convene a meeting to vote, increment the version to 1.3, update the wiki, and declare victory.  Of course, if someone else cares to provide a counter proposal or argument for why the current list is insufficient then we can reconsider.

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?
