I've updated the release notes in the master branch, can be viewed here: http://zarr.readthedocs.io/en/master/release.html\r\n\r\nThere are a couple more things that would be nice to have in this release (https://github.com/alimanfoo/zarr/milestone/5) and if I get a bit of time this week I might try to work on them, but I think I should draw a line under this and make a release.\r\n\r\nBefore 2.2 is released, I thought it might be a good moment to consider moving zarr (and numcodecs) to a shared github organization. I'd like to do this because I think it would help to recognise that a number of people have made important contributions, and also might help to encourage new contributions and shared ownership of the code. Bottom line is that my day job is genetics and my time for software will always be limited, so if zarr is going to have any longevity then it will need some community support.\r\n\r\nI think the pydata org could be a good fit alongside xarray, another option would be a dedicated zarr org. I'd welcome thoughts.\r\n\r\ncc @shoyer, @mrocklin, @FrancescAlted, @jakirkham\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/alimanfoo/zarr/issues/comments/346046608","html_url":"https://github.com/alimanfoo/zarr/issues/190#issuecomment-346046608","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/alimanfoo/zarr/issues/190","id":346046608,"user":{"login":"jakirkham","id":3019665,"avatar_url":"https://avatars1.githubusercontent.com/u/3019665?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/jakirkham","html_url":"https://github.com/jakirkham","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jakirkham/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jakirkham/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jakirkham/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jakirkham/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jakirkham/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jakirkham/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jakirkham/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jakirkham/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jakirkham/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2017-11-21T14:40:48Z","updated_at":"2017-11-21T14:40:48Z","author_association":"CONTRIBUTOR","body":"Thanks for pushing on getting 2.2 out there. This looks like a really good RC.\r\n\r\nAgree with everything Matthew already said. Would add that if you think it is time to move this to an org, I'm supportive. Not sure what is involved in a move to `pydata`, but it would be good to determine what those steps would look like to help evaluate the options. Also this would be a good time to iron out what the best practices are for contributing and document them."}}
