Synchronisation with tutors and pointing to such from our website



Hello,

I am writing from the ECCB, attending this tutorial
http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/urls/www.mtholyoke.edu/courses/afoulkes/ECCB2016.ipynb
which tells me how to do right what I have been doing for the last years
:o)  It is very clear and so I asked if it would be o.k. to point to it
from within our Debian Med realms. We got a green light, and we also
developed ideas on how to link back to Debians' packages. I feel that
this nicely corresponds to our ongoing ambitions towards modeling
workflows. And it also nicely corresponds my very personal ambition to
help the bored late school kids or early students with an opportunity to
find an entry to our science.

What do you think? It seems to me like a challenge for the upcoming
sprint of ours to reconsider how to present ourselves on www.debian.org,
wiki.debian.org and https://blends.debian.org/med/ . What is spooking in
my mind is that we could have some designated leaders in our field who
volunteer to mentor us and then we interlink packages/workflows with
tutorials they already have/adapt for the purpose. We are doing that
already - say with Sascha and Michael - or with the contacts we have
into the industry. But we yet have no place to point to nascent
introductions to the CWL or to sequence your favorite pathogen.

Please give these thoughts a spin. It is not (necessarily) about
packaging more packages but about linking to external sources explaining
how to use the packages we already feature.

Best,

Steffen
