How do I create a new lesson for the KnowPulse KnowledgeBase?

The KnowPulse KnowledgeBase focuses on short question-based lessons to help researchers get their work done.

Are you a Pulse Crop Researchers motivated to share their expertise with the community? We hope this lesson will help you to share that knowledge! The only requirement is that this tutorial will be useful to other Pulse Crop researchers. It should use KnowPulse where applicable but can also use other web resources and desktop or command-line tools. It should be a complete description of how to solve an example question and include:

  1. what data is needed and how to access it,
  2. how to prepare that data for each tool used,
  3. how to use each tool,
  4. how to interpret the results presented by the tool. In short, please include all the information you wish you knew when starting out your analysis!

Some of the things you will learn include:
