Hi Lewis, To add some more specifics, the new xarray-based API I have developed for OCW called BCDP (Big Climate Data Pipeline) has recently been approved for release to open source. Keep in mind, this is a completely new API that is not backwards compatible, so we were planning to maintain both the old and new API under one repository (either as separate subfolders or git branches) until the new API has enough functionality to fully replace the old one. To accelerate this process and encourage more development, both Kyo and I are seeking some additional funding sources which we should be more certain about early next year. When I first conceived BCDP, I was originally planning on releasing it to open source as a separate project outside of OCW, but after some discussion we thought that it would be better to maintain the OCW brand for it if possible.
Does this make sense? Thanks, Alex On 2019/11/20 00:17:22, lewis john mcgibbney <lewi...@apache.org> wrote: > I got this from Kyo offline > > “There is enough motivation to keep OCW going.
