Code Sprint Topics

See the track list started here.

For each topic, we recommend that the lead submits an issue to the ioos-code-sprint repository, identifying the scope of that topic. This will help ensure each code sprint topic has a plan that can be executed during the code sprint week.

Expectations for topic leads: Leads are expected to identify a plan for the code sprint topic, establish a team, and take the lead on executing said plan.
