Add documentation
It'd be really helpful to those like me trying to read & understand how the package works to have (Matlab-style) documentation for each class and function. Particularly with the common use of abbreviations for variable & function names, and the lack of comments, it's quite hard to follow the logic!
I am also currently trying to implement MatNWB, I want to get my data into this format, but some documentation/tutorial would be super-helpful! I've noticed the excellent documentation for pynwb, but does something like this exist for matnwb, or is it in the works? Thanks again for this amazing work!
What type data are you working with?

.mat files mostly, but I can potentially have things in other formats like .csv if necessary
@gmcadode sorry I should have been more specific. Extracellular? Calcium imaging? What acquisition system?
Oh, gotcha. I'm working with extracellular data, acquired from TDT's system 3 hardware. They have some functions to convert their data format into .mat though, so there's that.
@GMCadode Check out https://github.com/bendichter/to_nwb/blob/master/to_nwb/chang/TDT2NWB.m, which converts TDT data to NWB and relies on TDTbin2mat.m. It handles raw LFP and analog (audio) data, but doesn't show you how to incorporate trials, derived data, extensions, etc. I agree we need better documentation but that should give you a good start.
Thanks! I'll look thru it. Honestly I really believe in what NWB is about, so I'm looking forward to making it work in my lab!
