[Opengrads-devel] The OpenGrADS Cookbooks

[Arlindo da S. <da...@al...>]

All,

Having used the Perl/Python Cookbooks a lot in recent years I thought
that a similar format could work for GrADS as well. Therefore, I
started working on a Cookbook wiki concept for GrADS which I intend to
announce soon on gradsusr:

   http://www.cookbooks.opengrads.org/index.php?title=Main_Page

So far I have only written 1 recipe:

http://cookbooks.opengrads.org/index.php?title=Recipe-002:_Saving_GrADS_variable_data_to_a_text_file

In addition, please take a look at this:

   http://www.cookbooks.opengrads.org/index.php?title=Guide_to_Contributors

Am I making this too complicated? I just would like to make sure we
have a minimum of oversight to ensure some quality. We could also make
it free for all. What do you think? I have a tentative list of
categories here:

   http://www.cookbooks.opengrads.org/index.php?title=Table_of_Contents

Do you have any suggestions? The idea is for people to contribute
their own examples. Although the GrADS documentation has a fair amount
of examples, Cookbooks organizes the information in a different way:
around simple and focused tasks which often uses more than one
command. The idea here is to let people out there help us to write
documentation.

  Any feedback greatly appreciated. I am still looking for a volunteer
for Editor of the Cookbooks.

  Cheers!

     Arlindo
