Just a comment: As a user of deal.II it might be interesting to look at the source of this project for several reasons: - it is larger and more complex than a typical tutorial step and shows how to structure a larger project. - it shows many advanced features over step-32 (we started with that), for example snapshot/resume of a running parallel computation - use of complex visualization
