One small part of that cavern is the CF-Cluster that Rob started and served as interim chair of.  This seems to be a natural place for me to try to pick up the pieces and continue forward. The objectives of the cluster are currently:
>> 
>> Propose extensions to the CF naming conventions that are relevant to observational data
>> Create use cases and interoperability demos that demonstrate the value of CF usage in remote sensing
>> Provide tutorials at Federation meetings on the use of the CF conventions

>> A CF Interoperability Rant has been scheduled for May 3 and I have proposed a documentation workshop for this summer's meeting (http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Documenting_Data_in_Multiple_Dialects). I would like to organize that workshop around shared documentation needs and mechanisms for addressing those needs in multiple dialects.  Please let me know if you would like to contribute.
