Off topic: thrilled to see MITERS playing with PubPub. There are few groups
that I could imagine better suited for what we're hoping PubPub will
become. We've been playing with some ideas that might be super fun for
y'all. *Things like having Pubs be able to export G-code or other machine
data directly, so you could power milling machines, 3D printers, etc
directly from a Pub (publish once, machine/print/control anywhere). We're
also adding a bunch of 3D CAD and hardware design file support, so you'll
be able to share, publish, and render designs in your document (or just
publish and cite the CAD file itself, if you wanted). *If any of these
sound interesting, or if there are some super fun features you could
imagine, please do let us know! We have plenty of UROP spots or volunteer
opportunities if people want to help guide that design process.

Thanks again - will keep you posted when the Journal updates launch.


*Thanks,*
