This post is rather general, so asking people to join the German mailing list might be strange

sorry I didn't mean that. I meant having a format more suitable to share in online events, instead of several pages that you need to assemble in your mind, having a one-page flyer that fits on the screen. This could be added to slides, attached to emails, etc. discussed a bit about it yesterday with @bebatut

This point about "provided automatized workflows" is a bit strange. Sounds like we have workflows available for everything?
