---------------------------------+--------------------
 Building the ET on unknown clusters and even on workstations and laptops
 is hard and often leads to failures. Simfactory adds another layer of
 scripts making it harder for new users to diagnose the problem.

 The education and outreach working group (Gabrielle, Manuela, Helvi,
 Harrison) are involved in simplifying this.

 We do have a wiki page on how to add a new cluster to simfactory:
 https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Configuring_a_new_machine which
 is however fairly unknown and also not very complete.
