## Agenda

* Review our [project board](https://github.com/orgs/geojupyter/projects/2)
* What items should be added?
* Are there stale items that are no longer urgent?
* Are there things we can change about the project board to make it more useful? Add
more information? Remove steps?
* _Please add more items if you have them!_

### Status reports

* jupyter-xarray-tiler
* Thinking about handling n-dim Datasets, not DataArrays
* How do we help the user with exploring the dimensions of a DataArray?
* How do we make this interface modular? E.g. do exploration as a first step, then map the data you've selected from the data array, instead of integrating an exploration experience into ipyleaflet/leafmap?
* How do we make the interface reproducible? E.g. do we generate code and auto-create a new cell that does the operation the user did in the widget UI?
* Talk to Qiusheng?
* Lots of interfaces for exploring data in widgets, but not generating code for reproducibility yet!
* https://github.com/jtpio/ipylab
* Only way to create new cells from Python. Exposes commands to Python.
* Do we need to do this from Python? We could do it from a widget.
* Martin: Cleaner this way! More conventional, Jupyterish approach.
* https://anywidget.dev/
* Small problem: Can't create a container widget (Widget that contains widgets). This is a common pattern e.g. in bqplot, the figure is a widget, which contains an axis widget. ipyleaflet map is a widget, each layer is a widget. This is not possible with Anywidget.
