Let’s just solve the file format problem

Solve it by detailing the past, not defining a new format to replace all others (aka format #11). I got the impression they wanted to to the latter until the second half.

Sounds a reasonable plan, though scanning in all sorts of records between typewriter and file formats (not a time period I know anything about) is the sort of thing to be done the same way and possibly more important.

I don't get it. It's just collecting and digitizing document format reference manuals?

I guess I feel a little underwhelmed, compared to the expectations raised by the post's title.

Seems quite interesting, though I found the format of the post extremely off-putting.

Oh, and world hunger the next month.
