Make SpaDES 4 Dummies a general SpaDES guide/manual

[CeresBarros]

SpaDES 4 Dummies has the potential of being general guide/manual for SpaDES (like the "... For Dummies" yellow books). This may eventually become a book.

Here's a first list of things to do for "transformation"

General changes

• [ ] Part 1 and Part 2 become examples and are striped down of "SpaDES theory" - Part 1 becomes a "conventional R scripting vs SpaDES scripting" demo; Part 2 becomes a simple workflow example for statistical modelling.
• [ ] transfer repo ownership to PredictiveEcology.

New chapters

(not necessarily in this order)

• [ ] module structure and events - metadata, inputs, outputs, scheduling
• [ ] reproducible project setup and pkg installation - SpaDES.project/Require - and the "controller" script
• [ ] caching - operations (functions), events, whole simulation
• [ ] direct links to data and integrated data munging: prepInputs-family
• [ ] simple/static ecological modelling - currently Part 2 of SpaDES 4 Dummies
• [ ] complex/dynamic ecological modelling - using LandR as an example (can point to manual and provide a simple workflow (MEE paper))
• [ ] SpaDES/NetLogo vignette/chapter

@eliotmcintire / @achubaty / @tati-micheletti / @ianmseddy / @SteveCumming please add more things to the list.

Thanks a lot for this!! I will give it some thought. :)

It has been decided that a general SpaDES manual will live in https://predictiveecology.org/. A working draft exists in https://predictiveecology.org/training/_book/
