[Users] outreach and visibility of the toolkit

[helvi witek]

Thanks Bruno, David!

@all: this is a lot of great material. I put my question forward to the ET
list to initiate some discussion about how we can efficiently bundle it,
e.g. on the website's gallery, maybe in a somewhat similar as the SXS
collaboration does.

cheers,
Helvi
