But we haven't decided yet what exactly we are going to put in.
And without an approximated number of sessions for each day
I can't do a table of content that make sense; there is a dependancy
problem here. Dave are you able to highlight me on that please ?
Has a structure appeared ? Could Dave or one person of the

What's clear and what's not decided yet ? It doesn't need to be definitive.
Sorry if I missed some mail on that matter.

For the moment, let's say that the table of content draft is here :
