Here are a few suggestions about possible topics to add to the agenda (based on linked issues/discussions), if we can fit it all in:

- Canonical/minimal API of a ""duck array"" and how to detect it (though may be superseded by NEPs [30](https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0030-duck-array-protocol.html) and [47](https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0047-array-api-standard.html) among others)
- Consistency of type deferral (i.e., between construction, binary ops, `__array_ufunc__`, `__array_function__`, and array modules...for example, these are uniform in Pint, but construction and array module functions are deliberately different from the others for Dask arrays)
- API for inter-type casting and changing what types are used in a nested array (e.g. #3245 and #5568)
- How to handle unknown duck arrays
- Nested array reprs (both short and full)
- Best practices for ""carrying through"" operations belonging to wrapped types (i.e., doing Dask-related things to a Pint Quantity or xarray DataArray that contains a Dask array), even if multiple layers deep

---

Also, tagging a few other array type libraries and maintainers/contributors who may be interested (please ping the relevant folks if you know them):

- unyt (@ngoldbaum)
- astropy.units (??)
- NumPy masked arrays (??)
- scipp (@SimonHeybrock, xref https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/3509)

(interesting side note is the first three of these are all ndarray subclasses right now...perhaps discussing the interplay between array subclassing and wrapping is in order too?)
