Dear HDF5DotNet users, judging from recent forum postings and as we're about  
to release  
a new version of the HDF5DotNet wrapper, we would like to use the  
opportunity to solicit  
input and participation for the continued development of the wrapper.  
Together with you, we would like to identify and agree on how to address  
issues  
with the current version of the wrapper, and set some development milestones  
for turning  
the wrapper into a high-quality piece of software. At least initially, we  
would like to use  
a more interactive forum for discussion and propose to organize a virtual  
meeting on EVO  
([http://evo.caltech.edu/evoGate/](http://evo.caltech.edu/evoGate/)) on Thursday, April 14 at 1:00pm CDT.  
There's some flexibility in the date/time and please respond and suggest  
alternatives  
if you would like to participate.

Best regards,  
Gerd

Dear HDF5DotNet users, in preparation for Thursday's meeting I've put  
together a  
small "laundry list" of some of the technical issues with the HDF5DotNet  
wrapper  
that we are aware of. Whether you are planning on attending or not, I  
encourage you  
to put together/submit/present your own list.

There is no formal agenda for the meeting. I will update you on the current  
version  
of the wrapper (for HDF5 1.8.6) and its official release. I will also try to  
articulate  
our thoughts on the purpose and role of the wrapper in general and how to  
turn  
it into a community effort. Then the floor will be pretty much open for  
anything  
on your mind regarding the wrapper.

I'm looking forward to "virtually" meeting as many of you as possible on  
Thursday.

Best regards,  
Gerd Heber
