Hello Francesc,
Happy New Year! Hoping you had a safe and relaxing holiday season.
I’m reaching out directly for the first time as the new Developer Advocate for NumFOCUS. Looking forward to working closely with you and your community to support PyTables.
Today’s Topic: A PyTables “One-Pager”
With the new year upon us, NumFOCUS is working on our 2020 Annual report and taking a look back at the work that our sponsored projects have done. This year we will be including a one sentence description of your project followed by a link to a project “one-pager” that summarizes key project information.
As I understand it the idea of a “one-pager” was first discussed at the 2019 Project Summit. Now, with a dedicated resource (myself) available to work closely with each project it’s been suggested that we move forward with putting these together.
We’re hoping these one-pagers will become a handy piece of communication that your project can give to potential funders, new contributors, hand out at project events and share on social media.
To get this work started I’d like to gather information on project applications, current/future plans and high-level needs for your project. Much of the additional information that will show up on the one-pager I can pull from your website and/or GitHub repositories. ...
REQUEST to you or another person on your team:
Please complete the google form linked below.
I know this is a very busy time however, if you could please try to provide the information by Wednesday January 20, 2021 we will be able to include it in our annual report.
If you can’t get it completed by this date please let me know and I can look at other means to collect this information. Either way we will continue to work with your project to build this resource.
We greatly appreciate your help with this. If you have any questions please reach out.
Best,
Arliss

since I'm on the team I have focused mainly on the modernization of the
code, cleaning up old hacks and most recently on investigating into
migration to pytest. That's a lot of work that will improve
readability and organization of the code, and make the project more
attractive to new contributors. And that's also necessary for me,
because reading the code, when I encounter something not immediately
clear to me, I try to understand it, sometimes ask you (thank you,
Antonio, for all the patience!), and eventually rewrite it in a simpler
way, which hopefully helps the project. And mainly to me, because I
understand more.
On the other hand, I did not deal with those “high-level needs” until
now. So probably my description would be a very narrow one and not what
Arliss expects.

just checked the form. From my experience and current point of view I could spontaneously write:
Application:
- storage for huge datasets (observations and forecasts) for ML training
- …
- …
New feature/upgrade
- modernization of the codebase to Python 3.6+
- migration of tests to pytest
- split of dependencies out of the repostory
Project need:
- possibility to *quickly* test everything (parallel CI runners)
- better interface to Pandas
- …
Any further ideas?
Thanks,
Miro

the form. I hope Arliss comes back to you (there was no contact
information in the form) with further questions.
Miro, lucky to live a few hours ahead of most U.S. deadlines :-)
