    A proud achievement of my half-century IT career happened in 1996 consulting to the #UNDP toward the first published edition of the Humanity Development Library.

    It seemed easy enough: "It can be fairly estimated that 1/3, or about 20 million pages of UN, and as much University and NGO material are very useful. Those 20 million pages useful UN publications probably contain about 50% of solutions for major World problems. This information must be released in digital format for non-profit redistribution in all countries."

    also portable and accessible to all platforms, everywhere.

    Happily, not only did the project live on, but thanks to @internetarchive our once-intractable problem of global delivery is now globally solved!

    So, whether or not this is timely, I don't know, but should you need to suddenly rebuild some semblance of civilization from scratch…
