[NeXus-committee] NXDL technical meetings – first topic: PR #1669

[Wout De Nolf]

Hi all,

As the new NXDL Technical Manager, I would like to start technical 
meetings
on NXDL, separate from the general NIAC meetings. They are open to 
anyone
and might be especially interesting for people who:

- develops tools that read the *.nxdl.xml files or nxdl.xsd directly, or
- are invested in how NXDL evolves from a technical pov.

The first topic is PR #1669:
https://github.com/nexusformat/definitions/pull/1669

It does two things:
- it declares, in NXDL itself, the attributes that every field and group
   may have (@NX_class, @target, @units, ...);
- it defines NeXus links by their content instead of as HDF5 hard links.

If you would like to join, please fill in the Doodle:

We will organise the rest on Zulip, so please join and reply there:
https://nexusformat.zulipchat.com (channel #NXDL [1])

Cheers,
Wout De Nolf
