- dev3: [REMBI metadata](https://github.com/ome/ome2024-ngff-challenge/pull/8) (Tom-TBT)
- IDR data for Challenge (Jason)
- Q: what data would IDR submit? All data is great, but depends on what's in scope, what can be used today, what's useful today?
- IDR can drive these questions. Would we contribute something for which there isn't a tool (today). Think so! Drive development/benchmarks.
- Need to figure out who is doing conversion.
- Rich datasets that may never be in a common spec. Try it out.
