As I said, the Cookbooks are very low maintenance beyond the initial effort
of organizing the information in a way that less experienced users would
have the necessary steps to prepare your "dish".  I agree with Mike, your
stuff is very nicely organized, you have most of material already for a
Recipe.

Like yourself we are all very busy, and my hope starting the Cookbooks  was
that if  everyone could contribute one or 2 recipes soon enough we would
have a good "knowledge base" of how to do things in GrADS.  Contributing
documentation is just as an important part of development as contributing
source code. Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.

In any event, simple instructions to enter Recipes can be found here:

  Cheers!
