[Users] outreach and visibility of the toolkit

[David Radice]

Hi Hevli,

let me add, as an example of NS merger simulations done with the ET, our (Princeton/Parma/Frankfurt groups) simulations with the WhiskyTHC code, which includes microphysical nuclear EOS and neutrinos:

In this context I was looking for animations produced with the toolkit, in addition to the BBH material that I already had from the SXS collaboration, to give more credit to it.

At the moment, a quick search leads to filmed talks and lectures (which is important, too, of course), but try the same for SXS and you'll get a list of animations by the collaboration. A first step to give more visibility to the toolkit could be to add the logo to the credits.
