Description
Along the same lines as https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/1282, we haven't done much updating for frequently asked questions -- it's mostly still the original handful of FAQ entries I wrote in the first version of the docs.
Topics worth addressing:
- How xarray handles missing values
- File formats -- how can I read format X in xarray? (Maybe we should make a table with links to other packages?)
(please add suggestions for this list!)
