The /Data_[sourcename] folders are need since each data source may have different copyrights status, coverage quality, subjects (topography ? politic ?), and is usually made of dozens of files/tiles, so create separate data folders make sense. /My_tutorials, /My_mapcolors, /My_projects, /My_examples, /My_outputs will likely be useful too. /My_tutorial will host interesting tutorials (webpages, pdf, etc) you will find, you may also edit them, and take your own notes. /My_mapcolors will host the color styles you will find online or create and save there. /My_projects will host your QGis projects. /My_examples will be a collection of maps you saw on wikipedia, love, and want to study ([[copy engineering]]). /My_outputs will host the some dozen of intermediate outputs you will generate and frequently look at to improve yourself through your learning process.
