Just to be clear, Unidata has nothing to do with, and minimal if any input on
what goes over the NOAAPORT satellite. That's entirely NOAA/NCEP/NWS decided.
Through the Users committee, we do have some contacts, and they do ask our
input and we can make suggestions, but the final decision on what goes out over
NOAAPORT is theirs. I'll touch base with one of our contacts and ask if they
she knows of any plans to put anything other than the netcdf4 files on NOAAPORT.

Hey Pete,
Thanks for the update.

We do use the GINI imagery, and would eventually need a replacement
for the GINICOMP imagery. I figured I'd have to mock something up
myself, but if AREA files came over NOAAPort we could use those. I'm
saying NOAAPort though because our internet bandwidth can get
congested at times, so if they come over internet only then I may
still end up making my own. My two cents anyways.
