Hello everybody. As you can see from the list of participants I am not an active participant in the first place. Ulrike and Martin invited me to join the whole thing as an observer, so I will stay out of the process itself during the week in Potsdam. Although I want to contribute to the preparation: a little collection that grew when I tried to get more clear about what to go for and what to expect and what to avoid in this discussion. See you then.
