Documentation for a CMS open data workshop

In recent years, a handful of theorists have published new results using publicly available data from CMS on the CERN Open Data Portal. This has motivated the collaboration to organize a workshop in Summer 2020 for theorists where participants will be led through hands-on activities and tutorials. The documentation needs are different for this type of exercise than a standard CMS collaborator and so there is an effort underway to both organize and fill in the gaps of the existing documentation so that it is more optimal for non-CMS experimentalists. We discuss the current status of the documentation, the challenges we faced, and details of the upcoming workshop.
