By far prefer 1st footnote format. Grouping together lets you read the footnote and find the reference in the main related section quickly.
Colour coding of adv/conj is good. Wish it was in jqt. Things seem to generally fit well on page. If more information/columns in some sections would still fit, then that would be better. But it is fine the way it is, and fitting easily is probably most important consideration.

The goals of the project are * show language changes since J6.02 * convert to LaTeX With the information in LaTeX, it will be easy to change font sizes and placement. The card can then accommodate new changes, and there can be multiple versions: perhaps a Large Type version for us old folks. We need your help! There are some design questions that need answering before Viktor proceeds. He has created 3 versions of a portion of the card: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VwHRkL3I0R6UeqwRtntuMtgcevTk5fS5/view?usp=sharing footnotes by paragraph https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JRuZDUU3Ij3Cq2AhvsckDu1eWdgb5SUC/view?usp=sharing footnotes at bottom of page in 3 columns https://drive.google.com/file/d/10KaGw1Mudi3mm-cb5g7SI59RQ-WPvGcm/view?usp=sharing footnotes at bottom of page in 1 column To take this survey, start by putting the 3 versions into whatever form you would normally use them in: either in a window or printed on paper. Then answer the questions. 1. In each document, look at a couple of tables with a footnote, and refer to the footnotes. Which layout did you find easiest to use? a. footnotes at bottom, 1 column b. footnotes at bottom, 3 columns c. footnotes below each table 2. What do you think of the size of the main text? a. too small b. about right c. could be smaller 3. What do you think of the size of the footnote text? a. too small b. about right c. could be smaller 4. What do you think of the coloration (indicating part of speech)? a. don't like it b. no opinion c. like it 5. Consider the two tables 'Adverbs' and 'Conjunctions'. The adverb table has a column of menmonic names, the conjunction table does not. Are the names helpful? a. no b. no opinion c. yes, for the adverbs d. yes, and I would like to see names added for the conjunctions e. yes, and I would like to see a mnemonic name for every primitive 6. In the Foreigns table, would you prefer to see the system-defined name in addition to/instead of the m!:n value? a. m!:n only b. both c. system name only 7. Do you have suggestions for formatting? Write them in. Please post responses to this Forum (or to me personally if you prefer).
