Connecting the dots
So far, alterations to the script have been made without referring to the scenario, i.e. the contents of the Delft-FEWS local data store. Start-up Delft-FEWS and inspect the data that is available.
Construct a simple script with events for a trainee in which he/she has to inspect the data in Delft-FEWS in order to be able to publish a forecast (for a location and parameter of your choice).
Give feedback at the end of the script about the forecast that he/she made.
