MESA 5.6.0 — demonstration data packages from open sources (East Africa)

Description: Four demonstration data packages for MESA 5.6.0, built from open geodata for sites in Uganda and Kenya. Each ZIP is one MESA project — config.ini plus input/ data — restored via Manage MESA data → Restore data. Inputs only, no computed results. Licences differ per package and per layer; there is no single licence for this record. Sources include ESA WorldCover 10 m 2021 v200 (CC-BY 4.0, © ESA WorldCover project / modified Copernicus Sentinel data), OpenStreetMap (ODbL 1.0, © OpenStreetMap contributors), and Allen Coral Atlas v2.0 benthic habitat (CC-BY 4.0). The full credits for each package are in its docs/readme_demodata.txt — carry them with any redistribution or published result. Two packages (mombasa_reef, rwenzori) deliberately mix real and synthetic asset groups: authentic geometry for themes an open source publishes, invented groups for those nobody does (marine use-zones, alpine themes). Each package names which groups are which. The invented groups are not surveyed or gazetted boundaries and must not be presented as such. The importance and susceptibility values are automatically assigned defaults, not expert judgement. Review them before drawing any conclusion. mesa_5.6.0_demodata_guide.md explains how.
