Create an Xarray feature/function

Xarray has a "good first issue" tag that is worth browsing.

That tag is a great suggestion!
So far I like:

1. Bug when padding coordinates with NaNs #6431 I did not know what padding was
2. [FEATURE]: Use fast path when grouping by unique monotonic decreasing variable #6220
   Looks interesting and seems like there's been some progress. I am trying to understand the process.
3. xr.DataSet.expand_dims axis option doesn't work #7456
   Potentially this one as well. Since it will push me to really understand dimensions, axes and indexing.

Here is a nice example of a type of thing I'd like to add to xarray.
Looking through the process of committing something like this is very educational.
I did not know xr.corr() and xr.cov() existed.

• need to test it on my data

At the same time this is a great point

I am asking myself this a lot. Xarray's purpose is not to absorb all the functionality of all the packages especially when it comes to analysis.

FYI The thinking on this has changed a bit. No one really has stepped up to add scipy wrappers , so more and more things just get added to xarray.

Xarray's purpose is not to absorb all the functionality of all the packages especially when it comes to analysis.

A good way to get answers for such questions is to open an issue and ask if the maintainers are open to adding such a feature,
