i was wondering about netcdf as well since that is what i use quite a
lot. i'd be quite up for helping out writing an import filter for
that. the only thing that kept me away from it is that i have no clue
about gui programming. maybe that would be a good start. also i was
wondering whether import filters should be written using bonobo so they
can be reused in other programs like gnumeric, scigraphica, whatever
else. again, i have no clue about bonobo either.
