Workshop Pilot/Help
===================

Goals
-----

* Get feedback/expertise for the real workshop

  - Which (general, background) slides are needed?
  - Complexity **test-exercises**; how much time do they need? How much are needed?
  - Same for **bricks**, **gates**, **plugins**, etc.
  - Tempo, “Prior Art”, Topics, ...

* Support to get the Pathways framework up-and-running

  - Port/Install on **Windows** (developed on MacOS)
  - Human interface (1\ :sup:`st`: cmd-line; optional: GUI, IPython/Jupyter, ...)
  - ...

I’m open for suggestions
