The number of attempts should go out of the final commit version..

Maybe we should do this as a normal text file and not rst then?

Should this be in the document and not a README in the directory?

That being said starting every sentence on a new line makes the text

I'll try to do that and will return to it later, sorry for just
dropping these procedural notes for now.
