Hi Dan et al, in addition to the replies below, you might find the following GDAL Wiki pages useful, I read them when starting to contribute some work on the NetCDF driver: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/HowToContribute http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc8_devguide http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/TestingNotes
These are linked from the front page of the GDAL Trac Wiki. -- Patrick.
