I think you are not the only one, we have an issue with 1.0.0 in multiple projects, for example: https://scipp.github.io/release/0.8.2/ Apart from [conf.py](https://github.com/scipp/scipp/blob/main/docs/conf.py) we have some customization using [layout.html](https://github.com/scipp/scipp/blob/main/docs/_templates/layout.html) and...

The main difference of the built docs I notice is that none of the docs pages contains a link to `_static/css/theme.css` with 1.0, whereas with `0.5` all pages have such...

@danielballan mentioned that the photon community (synchrotrons/X-ray scattering) is starting to talk more and more about ragged data related to "event mode" data collection as well.

Is anyone here going to EuroScipy (two weeks from now) and interested in having a chat/discussion about ragged data?

From our side, we have since chosen a different mechanism, relying on type erasure to build a library (https://scipp.github.io/) that supports this and other features in a Python-like manner. From...

Just to add another complication into the mix: For handling physical units, something like `boost::units` would fit well into the picture (compile-time unit checking based on the type system). If...

If anyone is looking for more confusion, I'd like to mention [scipp](https://scipp.github.io/index.html), and in particular its [Binned data](https://scipp.github.io/user-guide/binned-data/binned-data.html) feature. This is somewhat similar to a `DataArray` containing an Awkward Array...
