size=2 face=Arial>The fact is, if Bernie wanted to ensure that Electronotes
survived as a web archive, he could just say the word and a "usable" version of
the entire thing would appear on the internet almost overnight. Sure, the
scans might not be of the highest quality -- some might be a bit dim, and some
might have some image bleedthrough from the back of the page -- but it would be
available, and the information would be legible and useful.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=698343418-06112020><FONT color=#0000ff
size=2 face=Arial>All this would require is the blessing of Bernie. As far
as the legalities of copyright are concerned, as the owner of said copyright,
Bernie could make all that problem disappear with the proverbial wave of his
hand. Kinda like when I assign my inventions to my employer for the
nominal sum of "one dollar" (which I never actually see, by the way -- it's a
formality).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=698343418-06112020><FONT color=#0000ff

actually believe that the content of Electronotes is worth saving for posterity
or not? Based on the available evidence, the answer would appear to be
"no."</FONT></SPAN></DIV><BR>

<DIV dir=ltr>Circling back on my earlier post, I had a fun morning with Jekyll
-- if you can post on reddit, you can make a website:
<DIV>
<UL>
<LI><A
href="https://electronaught.github.io/blog/1980/08/01/EN116">Electronote 116 -
Filter Banks (Part 2)</A>
<LI><A
href="https://electronaught.github.io/blog/2019/08/20/Assuming-Winding-Down-Webnote57">WebNote
57 - Winding Down</A></LI></UL></DIV>
<DIV>The source code for these pages is <A
href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/electronaught/electronaught.github.io/main/_posts/2019-20-08-Assuming-Winding-Down-Webnote57.md">basic
markdown,</A> and uses <A
href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/electronaught/electronaught.github.io/main/_layouts/post.html">user-defined
templates</A> to control how things get rendered. Anyone with
rudimentary HTML/CSS chops can make this look any way they like.
</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The bottom line is that the content is there, and was quite simple to
create. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>If anyone is curious, The Jekyll <A href="https://jekyllrb.com/docs/"
target=_blank>quickstart guide</A>, plus <A
href="http://jmcglone.com/guides/github-pages/" target=_blank>this
tutorial</A> offer a very gentle introduction to spinning up your own
website. This is a nice way to get online with zero cost.</DIV>

<DIV>As much as I like entrusting EN to an established academic institution,
going from one paywall to the next doesn't seem like the right idea. Use
<A href="https://www.gatsbyjs.com/docs/glossary/static-site-generator/"
target=_blank>Gatsby</A>, <A href="https://jekyllrb.com/"
target=_blank>Jekyll</A> (or similar) to spin up a website with flexible
global styling and you have an extensible way to display, search, and enjoy
Electronotes, in perpetuity. Hell, you don't even need to buy a domain -- <A
href="https://pages.github.com/" target=_blank>use Github pages</A> and enjoy
free, version-controlled hosting, with an established crowd-sourced
development platform as a bonus.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Then go note by note and manually (or automatically) transcribe
text. Screencap the diagrams to start, and then anyone with design chops
can tackle them as necessary. This also opens so many
avenues for integration with current (or future) interactive diagrams and
plotting opportunities, but I am getting ahead of myself....<BR></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Of course, the following valid replies are to be expected: (A) if
it was this simple someone would have done it already, and/or (B) Sounds
great! When will you do it?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>And fair enough. If no one else has the background or interest, I
can try throwing something together and come back with a proof of
concept. Regardless, this approach can support any number of transient
volunteers, with no wasted effort.<BR></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>If you build it, they will come, etc. <BR>
