We need more input from new contributors. Currently, we are relying more and more on a lot of internal and external tools to write our rules. Not everybody may know them, while they are so helpful to create better rules.

And maybe even end with a full-fledged "rule writing walkthrough" that strings all the tools together to create a sample rule (could be moved to a separate issue if we want to do that).
Proposed solution
At least, we could make a list of useful tools and links to them.
For example:
CRS-toolchain (would link to our own upcoming documentation page about the new regexp assembler)

At best we could have the list, and also create a 'walkthrough' for creating a rule that goes from:

Karel always just does a web search for 'execute postgres online'. But there's a bigger chance that people might give up.
