@huard, I haven't touched the codebase in that repo for three years 😃... So, I'm happy to transfer the xncml repo to xarray-contrib org and give you and anyone who wants access to it","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,401874795

A while ago @rabernat mentioned  that @dopplershift was potentially interested in working on implementing this feature in xarray in https://github.com/pangeo-data/esgf2xarray/issues/1#issuecomment-470707112

I am interested in helping out with getting this feature in xarray. I tried finding Python tools that provide NcML functionality and the ones I found namely:

- ncml: https://github.com/ioos/ncml
- pyncml: https://github.com/axiom-data-science/pyncml

seem to be outdated and unmaintained. 

In the meantime, I've been experimenting with some basics of NcML: https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/NCAR/xncml/blob/master/docs/source/tutorial.ipynb

With guidance, input and feedback on what the API is expected to look like in xarray, I'd be more than happy to work on this moving forward","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,401874795
