Enhance xarray's features for automatic parallelization of computation using dask.
Improve xarray's documentation, especially for new users who are unfamiliar with other pydata tools such as pandas. Part of xarray's development roadmap.
Refactor xarray's file I/O API to make it more easily extensible for different file storage formats. Part of xarray's development roadmap.
Generalise xarray to wrap any N-dimensional array implementation which conforms to the same API that numpy.array uses. Part of the xarray development roadmap.
Promote indexes to be an explicit part of xarray's data model, and allow users to swap out the default pandas indexes for their own choice. Part of the xarray development roadmap.
