[BlueBream] Helping with the 2-part tutorial

[Kent Tenney]

Justin,

Welcome!

You are making wise choices here.
BlueBream consists decades of code from some of the smartest.

An inspired champion on the documentation / tutorial level who could
ease the barriers (real or perceived) to using the software stands to
make a big splash.

Good luck!

Thanks,
Kent
