It seems like a bit of a miss not to note that the web site there is the personal site of paleo-Internet figure Jessamyn West: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessamyn_West_(librarian) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessamyn_West_(librarian) West is plenty notable on her own, but in THIS particular crowd here at HN, it's probably fun to note that her dad was first-wave computer engineer Tom West, who was a big part of Tracy Kidder's SOUL OF A NEW MACHINE. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_West https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_West https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Soul_of_a_New_Machine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Soul_of_a_New_Machine
