Curate a list of PyGMT community contributions

[weiji14]

Description of the desired feature

Team, what do people think about adding a "User Contributions" section on the sidebar (similar to https://docs.generic-mapping-tools.org/6.1/users-contrib-scripts.html). I think there's a lot of good examples (from workshops/papers/posters/etc) floating out there in the wild and it would be good to have a place to link to some of them

Some examples that I know of (feel free to edit and add to the list):

• https://github.com/liamtoney/gi-pygmt-2021
• https://www.iris.edu/hq/inclass/lesson/728
• https://github.com/michaelgrund/GMT-plotting
• https://github.com/MIGG-NTU/PyGMT2021
• https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/foss4g2019oceania
• https://github.com/mrsiegfried/Venturelli2020-GRL
• https://github.com/weiji14/nzasc2021

Alternatively, we could setup an 'awesome-pygmt' page (see https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome) if we think there will be a lot of these, and just have a link to it on the sidebar.

Are you willing to help implement and maintain this feature? Need some input from people :)

I think a list of links in the PyGMT documentation is enough. A separate awesome-pygmt repository and site mean more maintenance burden on us.

Are you envisioning this as just PyGMT-focused tutorial/posters/papers, or including geoscience (and other -science) work that uses PyGMT figures?

Agree with @seisman. I think a list of links is sufficient.

I would also add everything that uses PyGMT/GMT to produce high-quality figures and plots.

Do we need to ask for permissions if we want to add any repositories/websites to the list?

Not sure, e.g. ObsPy lists several extensions to the main package etc. on their GitHub page. Maybe we do it in a similar way or ask them how they handle it.

[seisman]

At least most of the tutorials/examples are owned by our project maintainers/contributors. So at least we can list these sites and ask users to contribute more to the list:

• liamtoney/gi-pygmt-2021
• iris.edu/hq/inclass/lesson/728
• michaelgrund/GMT-plotting
• MIGG-NTU/PyGMT2021
• GenericMappingTools/foss4g2019oceania
• mrsiegfried/Venturelli2020-GRL
• weiji14/nzasc2021

@GenericMappingTools/pygmt-contributors I just added these resources in PR #1210. Please leave your comments there.
