Hello Vincent,

16 Apr 22 14:13, you wrote to me:

It's a good idea.  Nice to have a business continuity plan, if you will.

Something I want to say publicly: my documentation project is not to dimishish 
all of the work you did on the MBSE documentation.  I am just rewriting it 
using LaTeX so that way anyone who has to work on it in the future will be 
able to have an easier time than dealing with HTML.  I was willing to learn 
LaTeX/TeX to do this not only for this projecct, but for my own Cheepware 
doors which I have released as open source.

Let me tell you, I stepped into a deep puddle with this project.   It's a 
LOT more more than I expected but I am wanting to do this because, like you 
said, the current MBSE documentation is damn near worthless right now from its 
age and unreadability.
