New users joining have problems getting started when they are interested in regions beyond Africa as the cutout must be created from scratch.
For African countries, we do have the African template cutout that is already available in the databundles but no other region is covered.
It could be nice for someone to create other cutouts for other regions.
Examples may be:
Asia (eventually divided into blocks as it is large)
Middle East
SouthAmerica
Oceania
Europe
NorthAmerica
To do the above, there is the need to follow the procedure in our documentation:
In particular:
copy the config.default.yaml file and rename it as config.yaml
change the value in "countries" to match the name of the region under consideration, e.g. countries: ["Asia"], ["SouthAmerica"], ...
execute the workflow for the target list of country
use the file scripts/zipfolders_googledrive to zip the file using the function zipFilesInDir("./cutouts", "cutouts.zip", lambda x: True, include_parent=False)
upload the file cutouts.zip to google drive and write to us, so that we can help you avoid filling your available space in your google drive
Modify the file configs/bundle_config.yaml to add a new databundle for the region under consideration, following the template of the entry bundle_cutouts_africa
