## Retro on Zarr

### What went well

- community is nice, active - cross-domain nature is valuable
-
- large communities and data providers are adopting zarr
- many more people are using zarr v3
-
-
-
-
-
-

### What could have gone better

-
- lots of work to do
- documentation could be improved for new users
- zarr.dev needs a refactor, including implementations
- decouple roles within the community
- marketing
- decision making
- blog wrangling
- etc.
- etc.
- relative lack of large operational Zarr stores to pave the way - or where they exist they're difficult for newcomers to find for reference
