Actually it was your document which made me think we should explain the
tools better, that you can continue on the workflow (i only looked at
the .html yet). So far it starts as a 'wishlist' for features, to make
it evolve into a workflow document we have to acknowlege on what we can
and want to support and how the engine/toolset will work. Some things
there are already mentioned, some things are yet planned differently or
should be done differently (aka in a more advanced way) and some things
are quite out of scope for us for now. About quite a few things we
already have some ideas how the tools will work, this influences the way
you can do the workflow. So we need to provide you some understanding
how the Lumiera engine will work and what tools you have at hand to
create a workflow from it and maybe reiterate and redesign tools to meet
your needs too.

Generally I think this needs some documentation, as far I see we, the
developers, are in charge to equip you with that and communicate some ideas.
