Should the lesson have download for plotting data? #519

The Data Visualization with ggplot2 episode depends on plotting data created in Episode 5: Data Wrangling with tidyr. If a workshop does not have time to go through the tidyr episode, the data has to be created with fairly complex tidyr code that an instructor may or may not want to go over. Should the lesson have a copy of this plotting data in the data folder so that it could be downloaded just like the SAFI data at the beginning of the lesson? This would provide another option to get the data.

@jessesadler this is a great idea to facilitate teaching. students often get overwhelmed when they can't keep up with the data wrangling operations and then are unable to focus on plotting
