Thanks all for your thoughtful comments. It looks like the Incubator is the right place to set things up after all. I've a couple of minor TODOs to clear up, then I'll pass it that way.
Those such as Aleksandra P and Peter who are interested in using or coordinating: from our perspective now, the major missing element is that we target nonirrigated ag areas. Not sure if we want another lesson or simply another version to incorporate irrigation, which pushes the zone of applicability much further west in the US at least. We also don't have anything for animal husbandry but would like to consider it. We have a planning meeting this week, then I can follow up with you. Paula, please feel free to add it to your excellent resource list. On Mon, Jun 15, 2020 at 4:58 AM Aleksandra Nenadic < [email protected]> wrote: > +1 on hosting it at Carpentries Incubator.
