 One of [our goals for 2024](../community/meetings/2024-02-19.md#orientation-materials) is to develop orientation materials for new students, postdocs, etc.
 There was broad interest in having a checklist, and example workflows for people to follow — particularly for projects that involve some form of code "hand over", to ensure that the recipients experience few problems in running the code themselves.
