New effort by someone involved with the now-closed Living Computers museum in Seattle.


So happy to hear it. The closed-not-closed state of LCM was exasperating for several years and I know several groups of folks were trying to engage to bring it back to life. It was such a great site for informal learning and did a good job of highlighting the region's contributions to computing. Seattle needs a computer museum!


Is there any hope to see the LCM open again following Paul Allen's death?


Author's 2017 paper on SILE in Tugboat, the journal of the TeX Users' Group: https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb38-1/tb118cozens.pdf


A couple of the author's talks are also online:

The tutorial included with the package's documentation also contains some examples:

(Also, it's wonderful to see a package author provide both a reference document and a tutorial.)


Some of the ctan packages have absolutely insane manuals
