[QGIS-Developer] Assessing support for STAC / Zarr feature

[Tom Christian]

Hi All,

I recently submitted a feature request (https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/62838) to support Zarr as a cloud-optimised media type in QGIS core STAC. This feature is considered necessary for successful integration of the European Space Agency's (ESA's) new / upcoming Earth Observation Processor Framework (EOPF) STAC service with QGIS.

Our project currently has capacity to work on this feature and it is something that we want to contribute to the community. However I would like to assess support for the feature before committing development resources to the work. I would like to reduce the risk of wasted effort if we create a PR but then discover that the feature is not considered desirable by QGIS maintainers. As this is not a major or architectural change I did not think it warranted a QEP. I have read the change submission policy.

I would very much appreciate any indication of support - or otherwise - from the developer community on this feature. Any obvious red flags, missed opportunities, questions regarding our intent, etc. would be welcomed.

Thanks!
