How to write a good tutorial:

• Do not assume the reader has any prior knowledge of what you are describing
• If you do not want to have to describe everything from the ground up, provide links to other places where they can get the required background knowledge
• Start every new section with a brief description of what that section covers, then go into detail.
• If a section is starting to get too long, move it to its own page
• Do not assume a specific node configuration (ie. UofT or PAVICS, etc.). If a tutorial only applies for a specific configuration (e.g. jupyterhub is installed) state that assumption explicitly at the very beginning

I think we should add a "Network architecture" page where we discuss the node-management software and its components, and how various "network" specific aspects of the platform are implemented. It would certainly be useful to Admins, but I do see a value for it for "Advanced users". We can discuss about this.

Proposal for a "Getting Support" page.
