+- ca. 20min work on computer, individually or in pairs

+In order for this to work out, it is important that enough many
+have a working GF installation, including the directory
+[``examples/tutorial`` ../examples/tutorial]. This directory is
+included in the Darcs version, as well as in the updated binary
+packages from 12 September.
