[aspect-devel] ASPECT tutorials

I think so, yes. We want as many people as possible to know about
Aspect and be able to use it.

Explaining the installation is not a useful way to spend the time, I
think. At least at cider two years ago nearly all students had windows
or mac laptops and knew very little about computing. Installation is
explained fairly well in the manual, too.
I agree with all the other points.

Certainly. I offered to help at cider (but I am busy 7/13-7/19 already).
