Add conda-forge install directions to README?

[matthewfeickert]

Following carpentries/workbench#90 adding instructions for installation from conda-forge to the Workbench docs, is there interest in accepting PRs to add instructions for installation from conda-forge to the repository README (through edits to the README.Rmd)?

While installation through calling install.packages in R scripts will still be the predominant way that users are installing the Workbench toolset, from searching 'conda' in this repo's Issues it seems like I'm not the only person that is working with conda packages through some form of Pixi/conda/mamba tooling, and making it easy for people to find out about this information could be useful.

I'm using the sandpaper GitHub repo as the place to ask this question for all the Workbench tools, so if @zkamvar, @froggleston, @ErinBecker, @tobyhodges, and anyone else from the Carpentries who I haven't interacted with on GitHub yet would be willing to share their views here I'd be quite interested and thankful.

Hey @matthewfeickert - that's a good suggestion! We're currently in the process of updating some of the Workbench docs (particularly in the developer facing places) and @tobyhodges and I are meeting in early June to reorganise and improve the sandpaper-docs user-facing documentation. Could we wait until we've gone through that process? It's likely we will reduce this repo's docs to a smaller README, and point to other docs for the longer form.

I agree with @froggleston. Dropping in to also mention that @zkamvar is sadly not a maintainer of the Workbench anymore. Please keep tagging @froggleston, @ErinBecker and me on your contributions @matthewfeickert, but leave Zhian out to save traffic to his inbox ❤

@froggleston @tobyhodges SGTM. 👍

Ah, sorry this wasn't clear from the outside — my bad and will do in the future! Thanks for all the work that went into the Workbench, Zhian!
