After quite a wait on this, we still don't seem to have a consistent Scitools style. Think we can close for now @pp-mo @trexfeathers

@pp-mo I think this is still applicable.

To make it more concrete, the target is to adopt documentation patterns and infrastructure akin to SciTools/iris

Perhaps @tkknight has a list of top-level features that he'd like to see adopted and prioritised, given that he's been curating the documentation over on SciTools/iris ?

This is an 80/20 thing for me. Iris-grib has informative documentation that is rendered automatically, and its depth feels proportional to the resource we have available for this package. I am absolutely sure @bjlittle is right that the documentation could be even better if we put more effort into it, but I personally don't consider the extra benefit to be worth the extra effort. I would rather spend that effort addressing user requests/bugs.

@trexfeathers Agreed. But this still needs done, right?

And this issue is a simple reminder of that. When we choose to do it and what it involves is another matter, but I don't agree with closing this issue and that's why I reopened it 👍

I think there is a need to ensure some best practice around how we do and present any SciTools documentation.

@pp-mo and I chat about this off line.
