435330735,MDU6SXNzdWU0MzUzMzA3MzU=,2909,docs questions from new user,2448579,closed,0,,,2,2019-04-19T23:29:35Z,2020-10-13T04:06:14Z,2020-10-13T04:06:14Z,MEMBER,,,,"A relatively new user here gave me an incomplete list of things they found to be confusing in the docs:

-  ~What is xarray's data model?~ opened #2913 
- [x] What is split-apply-combine?
- [x] What are dummy dimensions and `np.newaxis`

- [x] quick-overiew: Index so that you extract a subset!

- [ ] too many references to pandas!
- [x] do I need to know pandas to use xarray?
- [ ] what is the difference between attrs and encoding? How do I use them properly/correctly?
- [ ] why `isnull` and `dropna`: why `dropna` instead of `dropnull`
- [x] `compute` docstring doesn't mention computation!
- [x] compute vs persist vs load: what's the difference
- [ ] do I get parallelization for free?
  - [ ] do I start a dask cluster first?
  - [x] dask page links to shoyers blog but that doesn't explicitly start a cluster.

I'm crossing out things that I've started to fix.
