CF-1.10, CF-1.11 availability?

[jcermauwedu]

@ocefpaf The Open Gliders 1.0 format has been approved by the community this past summer. This format requires compliance checking at CF-1.10. It would be great to see CF-1.10+ available from the main checker if there are programming cycles available. uw-farlab/cc-plugin-og#3 (comment).

Although there is an online checker for the OG-1.0 format for testing, http://conventions.castelao.net/OG/1.0/validate, it appears to be checking against CF-1.11. There was a slight indication that the rust source code for this was to be available in the future.

I'll allocate some time to help out with this. Thanks!

PS: I need to summarize our findings from the code sprint but, if my memory isn't failing me, we are almost there with CF-1.10.

Yes, IIRC, the base CF-1.10+ items are there I believe. I think it was a matter of including the unstructured grid components, https://github.com/ioos/cc-plugin-ugrid, to make it a complete upgrade. Or keep the ugrid items in its own plugin.

Or keep the ugrid items in its own plugin.

If it is CF we should probably merge those checks into main compliance-checker, not an easy feat though 😬
