procedural aspects #1

Open topepo opened 5 years ago

I'd like some parts of this to be very procedural, even to the point of checklists.

My goal is for a person new to R that has implemented some modeling functions/package to be able to come to a specific page that says please to these things in big flashing letters and even gives them a github repo with a template for doing so.

I don't think that they are going to (initially) read the other parts. In other words, I think that we should get straight to the point very early (with some commandments) and then have the reasoning for these parts follow.

If chapter 2 is concise, I would have chapter 3 be the equivalent of "Getting started on a modeling package" or something equally direct. There would be a 3.x section on general do's-and-don'ts.

Added a getting-started-checklist.Rmd and updated _bookdown.yml so that it would be the third chapter.

Wishing I had more time to crank on this, but think I'll only be able to add notes piecemeal at the moment.
