Issue backlog priority order

[alexander0042]

An incredible thank you to @cloneofghosts for keeping things under control while I was celebrating a new addition to my family! Since I'm back now, I wanted to start this note to help keep track of open issues and the order I'm adding them. Short term roadmap is:

Miscellaneous Updates

1. Apiable docs update APIable docs are outdated #324 (this is with Apiable, apparently it's a surprisingly complex thing to fix).
2. HA Improve -999 handling: Respond to missing data pirate-weather-ha#435

Small bugs and enhancements (v2.7.8)

1. AI Refactor of text generation: Cleanup text generation code pirate-weather-code#223;
2. AI Code refactor for response script
3. Check that currently is processing snow intensity correctly: Issue currently block often struggles with precipitation #390
4. Better snow height estimates: Issue Better snow height estimates suggestion #89
5. Precipitation type: Issue Daily precipType snow with only one hour of snow precipType forecasted #413
6. Add solar radiation to feels like temp: Issue Possible to Generate A Feels Like Temperature with Solar Radiation? #379

Next Version (v2.8)

1. Add ECMWF Data Issue: ECMWF #423;
2. Add DWD Data https://github.com/Pirate-Weather/pirate-weather-code/tree/dwd-mosmix;
3. Add thunderstorms in: Issue Thunderstorms and Severe Weather #235;
4. Solar radiation in the "Feels Like" Issue Possible to Generate A Feels Like Temperature with Solar Radiation? #379;
5. Alerts from Canada Issue Alerts not reported #118;
6. New precipitation types: Issue Precipitation Types #43

Long term enhancements (v3.0)

1. Add in maps (this is a goiod tentpole v3.0 feature). Plan is to use (XPublish)]https://github.com/xpublish-community/xpublish-wms];
2. Move backend over to (IceChunk )[https://icechunk.io/en/latest/];
3. Additional data sources (starting with Graphcast (GraphCast model integration #183) and Add in the Canadian models (HRDPS, GDPS and RDPS) #421);
4. Add in Australia BOM data Source data for Australia? BOM? #361;
5. Some sort of averaged, long term data option: Issue Monthly averages #387.

This is my plan, and I'll update here as I work through them! As always, PRs are always open to help fix and address any of these issue, or work on adding new features, especially new data sources).

You can always add issues to milestones to help track things. I have a few setup but you may need to change some things around as I wasn't sure where exactly things would be addressed. (Added 2.7 and 3.0 milestones so you can start adding things there if you want)

Is this issue still planned for 2.6/2.7 or is something more long-term? #235

I'm assuming this #183 and #361 would be more of a V3.0 update?

I'm assuming this HA issue would be more of a short term fix rather than a long-term one? Pirate-Weather/pirate-weather-ha#358 Same thing with this one? Pirate-Weather/pirate-weather-ha#359

EDIT: Forgot this one as well #387. Likely V3.0? Also this one #195. Would that be 3.0 or included in 2.6/2.7?

This is why discussions work well for this sort of thing, since they let me edit the post as I miss things! I added those two HA issues to short term, although the timezone one might be a bit tricky. Added those additional data sources to long term. And the averaged question is probably more likle a v4 thing, since it's contingent on me restructuring all of time machine to optimize how ERA5 data is stored; however, it's a pretty commonly requested feature.

Ok, made some changes updates here to align with 2.7.3. Priority is fixing time machine and that midnight bug, which is all working now. That just leaves #472/ #437, which I should get to soon (if I can catch 472 in action). It'll also add some new variables to the ingest scripts, which is necessary to improve the feels like with solar radiation.

My other item is to review @cloneofghosts fantastic Pirate-Weather/pirate-weather-code#163, but at first glace that's looking good and should be able to go into 2.7.3. I really want to unleash AI to just refactor the whole responseLocal.py script, pulling out functions and getting rid of all the "magic number" indexing with a better system, but haven't had a chance to take a look at that yet, Overall timeline is to get 2.7.3 to dev (with these three changes) this week, prod next week.

Last item is the remaining daily issues here: Pirate-Weather/pirate-weather-code#137 (comment)
