Probably not in the way you imagine it happening. First, you're probably not looking for open-ended critique. There are probably a limited number of things you're open to and capable of changing. They're probably mostly sup

At that point, it might be too late. It's hard to reset expectations in the middle of a project that's already gone off the rails, short of pulling the team and replacing them with a client relations person, hence my advice. If O

I'm glad you recognize that there isn't a path yet; many people don't! The short answer today is: you have to ramp up on creating content in 3D engines. If you can't build out all of the content yourself, you can't

There's still a few unanswered questions; the answers make a difference. That said, the Internet Archive scans and preserves material for US$0.10/page, including storing it in one of their warehouses. 150 100-page magazines would

Not so sure about "epic task," mostly just "labor-intensive" task, coming from someone who's built a few book scanners and preserved material in a few different ways. Lots of established practices in this area, but
