Question: Is there any core library missing? #241
Description
What are the core libraries, that should be here, but are missing? We of course cannot just add them, but there should be discussion and agreement: https://scientific-python.org/specs/core-projects/#how-do-you-add-a-project

One that comes to mind is zarr: https://zarr.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ and https://zarr.dev/

We decided at the SPEC steering committee monthly meeting today to ask the zarr team if they would agree to participating as a SPEC core project. I will talk with @MSanKeys963 about next steps.

Hi @bsipocz and @jarrodmillman.
Thank you very much for thinking of us, and apologies for missing today's SPEC meeting.
I discussed with the Zarr steering council - we all favour participating as a SPEC core project. I guess the next step is to include Zarr here, right?
Please let me know if you need anything done from our side. Thanks!

Yes, thanks very much, @MSanKeys963! Do you mind making a PR?

fwiw I'd like napari to be part of the SPEC process. We discussed this at the very beginning and decided back then that it was too new a project, but maybe it's significant enough to be included now?
Add Zarr-Python as a SPEC core project (#254)

I won't hazard a guess here about where the line should be drawn for visualization libraries/projects, but to me the "core or not" isn't that critical. I'd be interested to learn if there is a technique/process/etc in napari that you'd consider best-practice and may be relevant to other projects @jni. Is there something that comes to mind? If so, proposing that as a SPEC would be very welcome I think.
