Sounds cool! I have some time next week to do it so I assigned myself. (And if @VirginiaMirabile wants to join, we can co-write as well)

alexandervossen commented 4 days ago

Awesome! We have a lot of building blocks to link - python Rstudio VSCode etc. Maybe @gbocsardi has some input as well!

VirginiaMirabile commented 4 days ago

Hi, I am also free from next week, so I will happily join to co-write it with @valerievossen!
