The link to the original paper is offline, but can be found on the wayback machine at archive.org.

It would be nice to include a link to the GiHub repo (e.g. in the footer of the website). This would make it slightly more convenient to report issues or suggest fixes.

A PDF copy of the original paper was freely available from hall.org.ua, but it recently went offline. Thankfully, it can still be accessed through to the Wayback Machine.

Okay. Why not put the PDF in this repo?

It would be great to include a link to the original paper on the website so it’s easier to compare the remastering with the original (e.g. when suspecting a transcription error).
