Hi Scott,

This is the .rst file I created, was wondering if you would like me to add a link to your first commit readme, and if you would like me to add more or change anything?

Thanks,

The Python ARM Radar Toolkit (Py-ART) Roadmap

General Information

Py-ART is used by the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility <http://www.arm.gov>_ for working with data from a number of precipitation and cloud radars, but has been designed so that it can be used by others in the radar and atmospheric communities to examine, processes, and analyze data from many types of weather radars.

This toolkit contains a variety of utilities that can be strung together to produce applications for: -Reading Radar data -Correcting radar data in antenna coordinates -Mapping data to a Cartesian Grid -Performing retrievals on this mapped data -Doing calculations on the retievals -And finally writing both radial and Cartesian data to documented NetCDF files

-Py-ART host webpage: http://arm-doe.github.io/pyart/ -Official source code: https://github.com/ARM-DOE/pyart

The Roadmap

Py-ART has been a very useful program that allows for radar data to be interpreted with ease. Py-ART is ever growing and improving, and with many contributers from different backgrounds, new tools are always added to help Py-ART become a much more powerful program. A roadmap was creating to provide a plan and information for the future progression of Py-ART through DOE-funded and voluntary contributions.

The roadmap provides: -The coding timeline of Py-ART consisting of lines, files, and contributers. -A survey providing information on user background, usage, suggested additions, and overall comments of Py-ART. -A long-term development plan for Py-ART.

@jjhelmus The first version officially in GitHub is 1.2.0 did we ever tag a 1.0?

scollis commented 7 years ago

And do we know when we "flipped the switch" to make it public.. I know we started as private

@zssherman Thanks for the images.. Can you get at the underlying data for images like this: https://github.com/ARM-DOE/pyart-roadmap/blob/master/roadmap/images/lines_of_code_by_author.png ? I would like the lines of code by author to be on a log scale.

ALSO: could you re-plot the lines over time in matplotlib so we have consistent plot styles throughout?

Thanks!

version 1.0.0 was not tagged but there is a commit that seems to be where the version went from 0.1.0 to 1.0.0 but ISRELEASE was still set to False so the version string would be reported as 1.0.0.dev+xxx.

The first official version in my mind is 1.2.0 (we skipped 1.1.0) which had a release candidate and a formal release which is tagged.

@scollis That sounds good. I can work on that.

scollis commented 7 years ago

Perfect. Thanks
