Hi Akbar,

Having one nice full blown repo is nice to have as testing repo. But I
would not invest your precious time in converting half baken styling
examples for now.

Should we (as in: not only you, but some community members too) try to
create the 'default QGIS styling' repo? Which then could include some
maps (data?) from the training manual based on those styling?

Feel free to do whatever you think is necessary off course, but creating
repo's is something I would move to the community :-)
Better to give them good docs on HOW to do it then to ti yourself?

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
