Just opening an issue to highlight what I think is a problem with the docs.

For me, the primary use of xarray is to read and process existing netCDF data files. @shoyer's popular blog post illustrates this use case extremely well.

However, when I open the docs, I have to dig quite deep before I can see how to read a netCDF file. This could be turning away many potential users. The stuff about netCDF reading is hidden under "Serialization and IO". Many potential users will have no idea what either of these words mean.

IMO the solution to this is to reorganize the docs to make reading netCDF much more prominent and obvious.
