 ## Workshop Outcomes
 
-An objective of the workshop was to create an open-access version-controlled online document. This document was envisioned as a community-developed handbook of CI design principles and recommended practices accessible to the workshop participants and the broader Ecological Forecasting Initiative (EFI) community. The living document is to function as a comprehensive CI guide for both novice and experienced forecasters aligned with community-developed forecasting standards [@dietze2023community].
