[mch2021-terrain] Helping at team terrain

[Bart de Waal]

Hi Rowan,

Sorry for the late reply.

We are happy to have your help! Feel free to join the user mailing list, 
IRC channel, and to join our meetings. The meetings are on the wiki: 
https://wiki.why2025.org/Team:Terrain

You can also join the orga-meetings if you are interested in helping out 
with WHY2025 from any team. https://wiki.why2025.org/Meetings

In previous editions, the map was made using a 2d CAD program 
(Confusingly called Qcad) and a bunch of custom scripts.

We haven't really decided if we want to keep the old infrastructure or 
change it around. Specifically, although you can do mapping in Qgis, it 
doesn't seem to be designed for designing new areas (but rather for 
documenting existing places). If you have more experience with QGIS and 
disagree with this statement, we would love to discuss with you.

The other problem with QGIS is that it's data format doesn't seem to be 
very suitable for storing in git. I've found kart 
(https://kartproject.org/) as a possible solution, but I haven't found 
time to try using it yet. If you have opinions on this subject I'm also 
very interested.

Sorry for not informing you in time to join the most recent meeting. We 
are hoping to have a discussion on the techincal infrastructure soon, 
and I think Redlizard will be inviting you.

Kind Regards,

Bart / "Uglyhack"
