Hello, Just a reminder to start "Watching" [1] the two GitHub repositories https://github.com/cf-convention/discuss (for general discussion and standard names) and https://github.com/cf-convention/cf-conventions (for proposed changes to the conventions) before *1st December 2020*.
After this date it will be impossible to start a new discussion other than through the issue trackers on these sites. All the best, David [1] By going to the "Watch" pull-down menu on those sites, and selecting "Watching" On Wed, 6 Nov 2019 at 21:47, David Hassell <david.hass...@ncas.ac.uk> wrote: > Dear CF community, > > The time has come to move away from the CF-metadata mailing list [1], in > favour of using GitHub issues at > https://github.com/cf-convention/discuss/issues.
