Ed, Sounds good to me. I have a few questions (to everyone not to Ed only :-) On which platforms netcdf-4 was tested? Who will provide netcdf-4 user support, bug tracking and initial bug investigation? When the new HDF5 version comes out, who is responsible for testing netcdf-4? How do we coordinate the two libraries release schedule? I am sure that there are some other maintenance/support issues. It would be nice if we can talk about them before the NetCDF users start to bombard our helpdesk with email messages :-) There are some users who use netcdf-?old? in HDF4 to read NetCDF files. We are testing now that HDF4 can read 3.5 files. Now... what about netcdf-4 files? Thank you!
