Question: Is there any core library missing?
What are the core libraries, that should be here, but are missing? We of course cannot just add them, but there should be discussion and agreement: https://scientific-python.org/specs/core-projects/#how-do-you-add-a-project
One that comes to mind is zarr: https://zarr.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ and https://zarr.dev/
We decided at the SPEC steering committee monthly meeting today to ask the zarr team if they would agree to participating as a SPEC core project. I will talk with @MSanKeys963 about next steps.
Hi @bsipocz and @jarrodmillman.
Thank you very much for thinking of us, and apologies for missing today's SPEC meeting.
I discussed with the Zarr steering council - we all favour participating as a SPEC core project. I guess the next step is to include Zarr here, right?
Please let me know if you need anything done from our side. Thanks!
fwiw I'd like napari to be part of the SPEC process. We discussed this at the very beginning and decided back then that it was too new a project, but maybe it's significant enough to be included now?

I won't hazard a guess here about where the line should be drawn for visualization libraries/projects, but to me the "core or not" isn't that critical. I'd be interested to learn if there is a technique/process/etc in napari that you'd consider best-practice and may be relevant to other projects @jni. Is there something that comes to mind? If so, proposing that as a SPEC would be very welcome I think.
