 We recently tagged and released a feature relese revamping the API surrounding parameters, please see https://www.mimiframework.org/Mimi.jl/dev/howto/howto_5/ and https://www.mimiframework.org/Mimi.jl/dev/howto/howto_9/.
 
-On 7/15/2020 we officially tagged and released Mimi v1.0.0, which has some new features, documentation, and quite a bit of internals work as well.  Since this is a major version change, there are some breaking changes that may require you to update your code.  We have done the updates for the existing models in the Mimi registry (FUND, DICE, etc.), and will release new major versions of those today as well, so if you are using the latest version of Mimi and the latest version of the packages, all should run smoothly.

+We have written up a repository and accompanying notebook [here](https://github.com/anthofflab/MimiFUND-MimiFAIR-Flat.jl/blob/main/MimiFUND-MimiFAIR-Flat.ipynb) to demonstrate the steps to couple together two models, specifically in this case replacng (most of) the [FUND model](https://github.com/fund-model/MimiFUND.jl)'s climate module with the [FAIR model](https://github.com/anthofflab/MimiFAIR.jl).

 We aim to assist users of all different experience levels, starting with first-time users. If this is your first time using Mimi, we recommend you begin with the Tutorials. In addition, looking through the code at the links below to various existing models based on Mimi can be instructive. 
 
-The first step for any user includes installation of julia and Mimi, as well as optionally adding the Mimi Registry. See the first tutorial for instructions on these tasks.

 Finally, when in doubt, ask your question on the [Mimi Framework forum](https://forum.mimiframework.org) or post an [Issue](https://github.com/mimiframework/Mimi.jl/issues) to the Github repository, the latter being especially pertintent if you have a specific request for the development team.   Don't be shy about either option, we would much prefer to be inundated with lots of questions and help people out than people give up on Mimi!
