I can volunteer to help out from the pangeo side. I agree that the main work item here is updating our Package Guidelines.
If folks are OK with me working on this, I’ll focus on deduplicating our guide with what’s covered by PyOpenSci’s guides, focusing on the bits that are pangeo-specific (where pangeo will roughly mean “geoscience”, maybe “scalable geoscience” in this context).
Is there an overall vision or framework we want to use to organize and classify the packages in our ecosystem?
I think this is worth a discussion (which we can do asynchronously here). I’ll make another post later with my thoughts.
From there, I’ll probably follow @lwasser’s advice and just help out with editorial duties, rather than trying to submit various packages through the process.
