Scott,

I'm looking for whatever people have found useful when introducing the 
concept of a text-only workflow to academics, and then adding the pandoc 
icing on the cake.

So it's wide open. :-)

I expect most people to be beginners or even completely new to the idea, 
though they will sign up for the workshop and so be self-selected, which 
should mean that they are at least open to the idea.

So fire away.
