Adds an outline for a project and resulting paper which helps describe skew in bioimage formats along with how this impacts science.

Measure how bioimaging storage layouts shape performance, analysis, and biological discovery.

Bioimaging data can follow a format specification and still perform poorly.

i recommend adding a bit more specificity to what you mean by "format specification". Also, what do you mean by "perform" and "poorly"? Perform what? Poorly measured how?

We will study around **six public datasets from three sources**, with two datasets from each source:

I'm wondering how you decided six datasets - is there a reason not to scan through every dataset from these three sources?

Comment thread README.md

We will study around **six public datasets from three sources**, with two datasets from each source:

* **Image Data Resource (IDR):** established OME bioimaging datasets with different image shapes and workloads.

Consider defining OME before first use.

Also, what is an "image shape" and what is an "image workload"?

Comment thread README.md

* **Image Data Resource (IDR):** established OME bioimaging datasets with different image shapes and workloads.
* **SSBD:** multidimensional OME-Zarr data, including 3D and time-series images.
* **Cell Painting Gallery / JUMP:** large-scale imaging data with associated metadata and feature tables.

Suggested change
* **Cell Painting Gallery / JUMP:** large-scale imaging data with associated metadata and feature tables.
* **Cell Painting Gallery:** large-scale imaging data from the Cell Painting assay (e.g., JUMP) with associated metadata and morphology feature tables.

* **SSBD:** multidimensional OME-Zarr data, including 3D and time-series images.
* **Cell Painting Gallery / JUMP:** large-scale imaging data with associated metadata and feature tables.

Two datasets from each source will help us measure variation both **within** and **between** public data services.

Two is not sufficient to measure these things - how tough would it be to measure all datasets? (i imagine what we're measuring will answer this question!)
