Hi Mike,
I'm not sure how to go about contributing to the Opengrads cookbooks...
How much time would it take, including maintenance? I don't think I
would be able to maintain such an Opengrads cookbook contribution, but
if you or someone else wanted to put it out there, it is OK by me (if
there were issues in the future with the code, they could be directed to
me).
