[Qgis-community-team] [Qgis-user] Processing exercises: add your own

[Victor Olaya]

Being optimistic, and assuming we will get a nice set of examples
using scripts and complex models, what about adding a new section?

We would have the processing part with fundamentals and the current
exercises of increasing complexity, and then a set of more elaborated
examples, with scripts etc. Readers using that section are assued to
have a good understanding of Processing and also to be familiar with
Python

What do you think of this structure?

>> Hi all.
>> I'm adding material to the excellent Training Manual for Processing, by
>> Victor Olaya (now incorporated in the main documentation of QGIS).
>> I'm sure many of you have good examples of exercises, either finished or
>> as short notes or series of commands. I think it would be good to add
>> them, so to share and improve them.
>> Have a look to
>> https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/tree/master/source/docs/training_manual/processing
>> for examples. You can see the rst code and an html preview, e.g.
>> https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/blob/master/source/docs/training_manual/processing/first_alg.rst
>> You are welcome to submit pull requests if you have finished material
>> with the same style, or to contact me in case you need assistance to put
>> in proper shape your material or ideas.
>> Of course we need also a set of data (please keep it as simple and small
>> as possible), and possibly a ready made project, models, etc.
>> Your contribution will be acknowledged by adding proper credits at the
>> beginning of each module.
>> Looking forward to hear from you.
>> All the best.
