Would love a tutorial on deriving parametric expressions in spreadsheet driven models, if that's anyone's bread & butter. :D

Also some optimization tutorials would be interesting! like demo'd here https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=54673

(and I should note that this work continues in 0.21, so if you need OpenSCAD compatibility I strongly recommend using one of the latest builds of the development version, at least to do your import).

A nice new feature from @adrianinsaval was merged a few weeks ago, making a small but valuable improvement to the navigation cube:
