Should one ask questions relating to the R package 'ncdf' here? or look for a more netCDF-oriented (but probably less R-oriented) list? Why I ask: I'm relatively new to R, which I've only used in the past for graphics. I'm trying to learn R as an alternative to manipulating netCDF files with NCO (which works well but lacks all the other R goodnesses). Hence I've got a range of questions which are more-or-less R-related and more-or-less netCDF-related, and I'm wondering where to go for answers to questions that are less generically R-related, and more about the ncdf implementation. (FWIW I'm currently using package=ncdf rather than package=ncdf4 because the group with which I'm working currently uses netCDF libraries built without netcdf4/hdf.)

The netcdf library also has a mailing list run out of ucar, but that doesn't usually address packages that use netcdf so much as the library itself. Regards, --Dave -- David W.
