Thanks @orbeckst I'll add in some more details and we can try and formalise some smaller goals that are more achievable

This all looks quite good!

Regarding the required background knowledge, it would be beneficial to compile a list of materials for each potential project. Additionally, I found that the Blender Python API documentation e.g. bpy.types.Operator, can be somewhat daunting.

It's important to note that one doesn't need to be a Blender guru to implement some of these concepts (I certainly am not). Including practical code examples, such as how to draw a line in Blender using Python, could be a valuable resource for individuals looking to quickly get some prototypes working.

Yes we should put together some "getting started" in terms of explaining how operators work and how to actually do some basic tasks inside of Blender.
