Hi again Everyone,
I've received a positive reply from the 1 article author (Jerry
Stratton) I was able to contact. He says he doesn't feel qualified to do
any of the writing himself, but says we can quote his articles. Below I've
quoted from his reply, so I don't get any details wrong about the licensing,
etc.
So if Xavi, or whoever ends up working on it, maybe some of Jerry's
articles will be helpful :-)
All best,
brynn

fine.
