New user experience:
I had only a little trouble. I had not used the mpi tools before and didn't realize I should launch the sim with the mpirun command. I missed it in the documentation at the time but someone pointed this out to me and since then I haven't had much difficulty. I run on a single Linux box w/ 128GB ram and I had some hardware issue initially that I thought was software related.
The tool seems to work well. I have also toyed with the LORENE code and things seems to be working. Once in a while there are missing code snippets that are not publicly available but that's understandable. I haven't tried the latest release yet but I hope to be at the workshop in august and learn more!

Hi,
I think it would be good to try to make an effort to make it easier for new users to get up and running with the ET. I am thinking of spending time on this at the workshop in August, and would like to ask for suggestions (and people who might want to help!). I have started a wiki page for this project, and added the first things that came to my mind:
https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Improving_the_new_user_experience
Please feel free to add to this, or just reply to this email with suggestions.
Especially if you are a new user, or if you have run workshop sessions with new users, it would be good to hear from you! What are the major obstacles?
Alternatively, if you found everything to be smooth and easy, please also speak up!
