Debug mode & separation from witch-data

[JohannesEmm]

A few things from my experience in working with the witchtools package:

• I think it would be really important to have a way in which new users can easily edit their files locally of the whole witch-* framework without having always to use github, ie using witch-data and witchtools in the local folder
• Given it is an independent package would be good to make it work also based on a completely new witch-mode/input and witch-data folder. However, as of now it doesn't work: If I create all the files (ie run translate_witch_data), and then switch to witch-data method on an empty folder, and just rerun the script it gives a few errors: (Yet in my opinion, this should work without errors). -1) ssp data not found (OK I assume because of the weights). -2) "database connection not found" not sure which one (globiom? primap for emission weights?).

I think the weights we should or embed them in the package or make them by default use piggyback so it will work with a completely new data folder for other models etc.

Anyhow we should discuss in a witch strategic meeting!

Thanks for the feedbacks:

• About not using witchtools without github. This is very easy with rstudio, in fact this is how I work and develop. I can teach how to do it and you will see how much this is great and easy! (then you can develop new R packages ;) )
• the witch-data in local is working for me but probably needs more testing (let's add some automatic test for this)
• Independent package, sure. This is in my agenda. Next step was exactly to put weights in the packages. We might create a tasklist so everybody knows where it goes and can also contribute.

New version v0.2.0 should solved many of these issue. #7
