Intro
- These is not really a presentation. Slides are just to keep me on track...
- A demo of Chirun, building on the idea of a repository based approach described by Colin last week
- Caveat: Chirun is undergoing quite significant changes and will be different (better) in the coming months.

Pre-built item: build a whole course and link to it, or to a single page
Pre-built flow
