create python package structure

[SarahAlidoost]

Add a proper python package structure with:

• github workflows
• pyproject.toml
• docs
• src
• rename the repo
• setup main branch protection
• readme and badges
• citation.cff
• add a logo (optional)
• pypi and zenodo account (check who from project partners can be the admin)

Moving Bouwe's comment on PyPI here:

For PyPI and zenodo account, is the idea that we should ask someone else to own it?

@bouweandela can you help with this, how is this done in esmvalgroup?

For PyPI, we have an ESMValGroup organization and use trusted publishing. If you feel it would be useful to publish the package to PyPI, I can create the project (once you have decided on a name) and set up trusted publishing for you.

For Zenodo: for the other repositories we have a few owners, but maybe we could create an ESMValGroup community. Do you have experience with these? Would that allow editing metadata of the records?

Good point 👍 I think we can skip setting pypi for now. A release on github and doi on zenodo would be sufficient.

No, I don’t have experience using a community to manage the Zenodo integration. From what I know, as a Zenodo user you can give other users permission to edit the metadata, but you can’t really share admin-level permissions the way you can on GitHub, where multiple users can be admins.

I am working on a name and a logo [in progress 🎵 ]

[SarahAlidoost]

These are my suggestions for the name of the repo with its description 😄 :
"ClimaNet" , "ClimaCoder", "AerNet", "AerCoder": A Climate Aware Spatio Temporal Encoder Decoder

[SarahAlidoost]

We agreed on ClimaNet: "A Climate Aware Spatio Temporal Encoder Decoder" 😄

Now we have the repo name. I will close the rest tasks in this issue in #26
